Reps. Stephanie McClintock and John Ley of the 18th Legislative District will hold a joint town hall meeting with 20th District lawmakers, Reps. Ed Orcutt and Peter Abbarno, on Saturday, May 3, in Battle Ground.
The four lawmakers will review the 2025 legislative session, which concludes on April 27. Much of their focus will be on the state’s three budgets and the new taxes passed by the majority party.

The meeting will be held from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Battle Ground City Hall, 109 SW 1st Street.
This is a great opportunity for residents of the 18th and 20th Districts to visit with their legislators and give them their feedback and input.

The Town Hall meeting for May 3rd at the Battleground City Hall is a great way to meet our representatives. This is grass roots “stewardship of civil government” – engagement. This will be packed out since this session, tax and gun wise, was not good for us with the Democrat majority. I do appreciate Representation John Ley’s efforts to keep us informed by using social media (FB) to track the issues.
The big disappointment was the lack of response from LD18 Senator Adrian Cortes (D). I sent two emails to him about the excessive taxation proposals of his party, regardless of what it means to us, the taxpayers. Never got a response. I wonder if he will hold a Town Hall meeting?
