Plum Holding Telephone Town Hall Thursday

When your phone rings at 8 p.m. on Thursday, it could be Del. Ken Plum calling.

Plum, who has represented a district including parts of Vienna and Oakton for more than 30 years, is hosting a conference call with constituents, so stay on the line to discuss the current Virginia General Assembly session.

Plum said as the session got underway on Jan. 9 that his priorities would be public funding — and restoring funding cut during the recession — for K-12 and higher education; meeting and funding the mental health recommendations that were made after the Virginia Tech shootings; closing the gun show loophole that allows gun purchases without criminal or mental health background checks; obtaining additional state cash to go to Phase 2 of the Silver Line that will help keep tolls down; and ending discrimination based on sexual orientation.

Read more from the pre-session Reston town hall with Plum and Sen. Janet Howell.
