“I am best able to advocate for our district at the State House when I hear directly from the people I represent. Whether it’s in-person at this event, by email or by phone, I hope constituents will reach out to me with questions, concerns and ideas. A big part of my job as state representative is helping folks navigate state government and access needed resources, so please reach out with those issues as well,” said Rep. Russell.
