LINDALE — The American Legion Jordan-Duncan Post 15, Lindale, is hosting a Town hall meeting with U.S. Representative Nathaniel Moran on Feb. 20.
A reception begins at 5:30 p.m., with the meeting starting at 6:30 p.m., followed by a time for questions and answers with Moran.
The public is invited to this free event to meet and hear from Moran about current and upcoming legislation of interest to residents in East Texas.
The Lillie Russell Memorial Library is at 200 E. Hubbard St., in Lindale.
Moran will be unopposed in his bid for reelection and will serve a second term representing Congressional District 1. No other candidates filed to run in the March primaries.
In his first term in office, Moran focused on issues he said are important to East Texans, including strengthening border security, supporting law enforcement, constraining spending, and rolling back the overreach of the federal government and the liberal policies of the Biden Administration, according to a statement from his campaign.
He has also been vocal in his support for Israel, using his committee positions on Foreign Affairs and Education and Workforce to condemn antisemitism evident in organizations ranging from the United Nations to college campuses.
The First District of Texas comprises roughly 776,000 East Texans across 17 counties, including Smith County. The district stretches from Texarkana south to San Augustine and encompasses almost all areas between the Texas-Louisiana border and the Western edge of Smith County. Its largest cities include Tyler, Longview, Texarkana, Marshall and Mt. Pleasant.
Before being elected to Congress, Moran served as the Smith County Judge, a Tyler City Council member and as Mayor Pro Tem of Tyler.
