Washington, DC — Congressman Brandon Williams (NY-22) has officially hosted more town hall events than all former congressional representatives for Central New York and the Mohawk Valley. Three additional town halls are currently scheduled. While previous representatives have hosted in-person town halls, their formats generally were formatted to discuss specific topics and were not usually open forum. Often, they were by invite-only or through a lottery system.

“In his first 3-months representing New York’s 22nd congressional district, Rep. Williams has hosted more in-person and open forum town hall events than any representative serving Central New York and the Mohawk Valley, spanning more than a decade of representation,” said Taylor Weyeneth, communications director for Rep. Brandon Williams. “Rep. Williams remains committed to providing an opportunity for constituents of Central New York and the Mohawk Valley to be heard, listened to, and receive direct answers to the questions most important to them.”
