Sen. Crapo coming to Hayden, Rathdrum

U.S. Sen. Mike Crapo will hold a series of seven town hall meetings across the Idaho Panhandle next week. Crapo said his goal is to hear directly from Idahoans on a wide range of federal issues that impact Idaho citizens and local communities.

Making this round of Panhandle visits unique is that some meetings will be held in smaller communities and one in a forest products facility. Crapo will also offer the keynote speech at the dedication of the Kootenai Tribe’s Twin Rivers Fish Hatchery near Moyie Springs.

 “Idahoans bring common sense in resolving issues we need to address back in Washington, D.C.,” Crapo said. “I encourage all Idahoans to try to attend these town hall visits as I schedule them near your community.”
