Candidates, physician to speak at 'Missing Meadows' town hall

Two political candidates, a physician and an environmental activist are scheduled to speak when Hendersonville Indivisible holds its "Missing Mark Meadows" town hall at 10 a.m. Saturday at Jackson Park.

Meadows has declined to hold a town hall meeting to hear constituents' concerns about health care and other topics. His office says that he is maintaining his usual practice of holding town hall meetings during the August recess of Congress.

Speakers at Saturday's event include Dr. Brian P.Mitchell and local writer Leslie Boyd, who will speak about health care;
Henderson County Young Dems Chair Amber White and environmentalist and educator Tate MacQueen, who will address environmental concerns; Matt Coffay, a Democratic candidate for the 11th Congressional District seat; and Norm Bossert, a candidate for state Senate District 48.
