First District Rep. Jim Hagedorn will host a town hall meeting Aug. 16 at Southwest Middle School as part of his 21-county town hall event tour.

The event runs from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Little Theatre at the school at 1601 W. Front St. in Albert Lea.

Freeborn County residents and constituents of the 1st District are invited.

Hagedorn, R-Blue Earth, will be available to answer questions. This will be Hagedorn’s fifth in-person town hall. The first was in Martin County.

A press release from Hagedorn’s office said local county attendees who present valid government-issued identification will receive priority to ask questions. Questions from residents of other 1st District counties will be addressed as time permits.

The release states signs and literature for disbursement will not be permitted for security purposes and out of respect to all attendees.
