Foxx announces June 17 telephone town hall meeting

WASHINGTON, D.C. | U.S. Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-5th, will host an hour-long telephone town hall meeting June 17 for constituents on the topic of government accountability and oversight.

"The recent admission that the IRS had been targeting specific groups of Americans with harsher scrutiny based upon political beliefs is chilling and an affront to our free society," Foxx said. "The American people should not have to question whether their government is unfairly targeting them because of their opinions. Congress is committed to delivering answers to the public and consequences to the IRS on behalf of the American people.

"On June 17, I look forward to updating 5th District residents on the status of oversight investigations in the House of Representatives and hearing their concerns about government transparency and the financial health and well-being of this country."

Residents of the 5th District wishing to take part in the town hall discussion may dial in at 5:30 p.m. using the phone number (855) 312-2107. Residents may also RSVP to receive an event reminder by visiting Foxx's website, www.foxx.house.gov/townhall.
