U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton To Hold Public Town Hall In Beverly

BEVERLY, MA — U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton will address constituents and answer questions on the most important issues in Washington D.C. and on the North Shore during a public town hall meeting in Beverly on Thursday.

The Salem Democrat will host the forum at Beverly's Council on Aging starting at 6 p.m. Doors will open at 5:30.

Residents are encouraged to attend and bring their comments and concerns to the event at 90 Colon Street.

Moulton predicted a looming government default amid the political fight around raising the national debt ceiling, envisioned a 30-minute train trip from Boston to Springfield and warned of the catastrophic consequences of a war with China over Taiwan during a wide-ranging virtual town hall from his Salem home in January.

Moulton postponed what was to be an in-person town hall in Andover to March because of the snow but held the 30-minute virtual town hall in its place in January.
