Editor’s note: The following is a press release from the office of Sen. Phil Fortunato.

Sen. Phil Fortunato, R-Auburn, is inviting residents of the 31st Legislative District to attend a series of in-person town halls later this month to discuss the 2026 legislative session and hear directly from constituents.

The meetings will take place in Edgewood/Milton, Bonney Lake/Sumner, Buckley, and Orting. Fortunato will provide an overview of the session, including key legislation, budget decisions, and issues that impacted local communities, followed by an opportunity for attendees to ask questions and share feedback.

“These town halls are about transparency and making sure people feel heard.,” Fortunato said. “I’ll walk through what happened during the session — the good, the bad, and what it means going forward — but just as important, I want to hear directly from the people I represent. What you’re seeing in our communities and what you think needs to change.”
