Latta Hosts Telephone Town Hall Amid Government Shutdown

Tonight, Congressman Bob Latta (OH-5) connected with over 6,716 constituents during a telephone town hall, taking questions and offering updates on the government shutdown, federal operations, and ongoing work to deliver solutions for 5th District Ohioans. “We are now on day 21 of the Democrat-led government shutdown. While Democrats continue to put politics over the American people, I remain focused on serving my constituents. Even though I've had my own paycheck withheld by the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) during the shutdown, my priority continues to be helping Ohioans. While working in D.C. tonight, I had the opportunity to hear directly from Ohioans about their concerns and was glad to provide updates and resources. Even though many federal agencies are closed, my offices remain open, working, and ready to assist. We are here to help," said Latta. Constituents who were unable to participate are encouraged to contact Congressman Latta’s offices for assistance with federal services, or sign up for his E-newsletter at latta.house.gov.
