39th Senate District. Skoufis announces summer events

Senator James Skoufis (D-Hudson Valley) announced his summer lineup of community events and conversations throughout the 39th Senate District, including his annual “Skoufis on Your Street” town halls.

The town halls are hosted around the district in locally owned small businesses, giving residents an opportunity to speak with Skoufis in their own neighborhood and ensuring their voices and priorities are represented in Albany.

“Hearing from district residents about the issues that matter most to them directly impacts the work I do each day,” said Senator Skoufis. “It’s my pleasure to bring our office closer to our constituents, and to be as accessible a representative as possible for those I serve. Our district deserves nothing less.”

The summer lineup includes:
