State lawmakers representing more than a half dozen local communities in the Vermont House along with Washington County’s three state senators will host a public forum Monday evening at Crossett Brook Middle School. 

The session is scheduled to run from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the school cafeteria. 

The elected officials are looking to meet constituents to discuss top priorities for the legislative session that began earlier this month as the second year of the 2023-24 biennium.

Kari Dolan, D-Waitsfield

Theresa Wood, D-Waterbury

Tom Stevens, D-Waterbury

State representatives planning to attend are: Dara Torre, D-Moretown, and Kari Dolan, D-Waitsfield, both representing the Washington-2 district covering Duxbury, Fayston, Moretown, Waitsfield and Warren; Theresa Wood and Tom Stevens, both Democrats from Waterbury, representing Waterbury, Bolton, Huntington and Buel’s Gore in the Washington-Chittenden district; and Ela Chapin, D-East Montpelier, representing Middlesex and East Montpelier in the Washington-5 district. 

In addition, the three Democratic state senators representing the Washington District are also on the program: Sens. Ann Cummings and Anne Watson, both of Montpelier, and Democrat-Progressive Andrew Perchlik, from Marshfield. 

The format for the forum includes a moderator with questions posed to the legislators. It is scheduled to be recorded for viewing afterward.
