Rep. Ben Cannon to hold coffee-shop meeting tonight.
Photos and Story by Dana Haynes
State Rep. Ben Cannon, District 46, is holding a “coffee shop talk” at Sweetness Cafe, 3524 SE 52nd Avenue today from 7 to 8 p.m.
Cannon’s district is west of Interstate 205, sort of in the Burnside, Powell, Foster area. So if he’s your representative, tonight would be a good time to bend his ear on the topics you hold near-and-dear.
Cannon also asked constituents in January to rate the top issues of the year and he got something like 400 responses! That’s huge. The No. 1 issues? Education and health care. No surprises there.
Like a few other lawmakers, Cannon is doing his newsletters in the form of a video. He’s got a minute-and-a-half one you can see by clicking here.
