In response to the postponement of multiple previously scheduled opportunities for 5th District residents to meet their candidates for Congress, the Kelly Mitchell for Congress campaign announced on Thursday a virtual townhall series to connect with voters amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The CDC, government officials, and health care professionals are asking Hoosiers to avoid large gatherings and limit physical contact to mitigate the risk to public health. This townhall series will allow voters to participate in a dialogue, ask questions, and hear directly from Mitchell regarding issues important to them.
With only 55 days left until the primary election, this series will bring the campaign directly to voters so they can learn more about Mitchell from the safety of their own homes. The Mitchell campaign will use digital, social media, paid media and public sources to advertise to voters to join.
Mitchell released the following statement:
“The health and safety of Hoosiers is important to me. We are launching this townhall series to give 5th District voters a voice. Our goal is to engage voters and give them the opportunity to ask questions, hear my platform, and learn why I am the best candidate to represent them in Congress. I encourage everyone to share our townhall information with friends and family, to take part in the primary process, and most importantly, stay safe.”
The first virtual townhall is set for 7 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, March 18. To join, simply call (317) 342-8568. You can submit questions in advance via email to Questions@HoosiersForKelly.com.
