Town Hall Meeting On Drought Set For Thursday

Congressman Mike Honda (D-Silicon Valley) will convene a town hall on Thurs., Aug. 20th, with doors opening at 6:30 pm at Santa Clara City Hall.

“We are experiencing an historic drought in California that could last for many years and change the way we think about and use water. The drought is a consequence of climate change, and we need to talk about how we’re going to deal with the impacts as a community and as a region,” said Congressman Honda.

“I welcome everyone in the community to join me at the town hall not just to learn more about the drought, but to ask whatever questions they may have about how it will affect them and their families.”

The town hall will include a moderated panel discussion featuring Congressman Honda, Santa Clara Mayor Jamie Matthews as the moderator, and representatives from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, California Department of Water Resources, and Santa Clara Valley Water District.

Santa Clara City Hall, City Council Chambers, is at 1500 Warburton Ave., Santa Clara, CA 95050
