In order to hear from his constituents in the 6th District, Rep. Bart Gordon is holding town halls and office hours about health care, the economy, and other important issues facing the country.

His “listening schedule” started Friday with two Telephone Town Halls – one at 11 a.m. and another at 5:30 p.m.

Telephone Town Halls allow voters to participate and communicate with Gordon from home.
Gordon will then hold face-to-face office hours starting at 9:00 a.m. Monday at the Patterson Park Community Center, 521 Mercury Blvd. in Murfreesboro

During these office hour events, constituents will be able to meet with Gordon individually and discuss any questions and concerns. Participants will be seen on a first-come-first-serve basis. 


Gordon will hold an in-person Town Hall meeting from 7:00-8:30 p.m. Monday in Murfreesboro at MTSU's Tucker Theater . At the moderated event, attendees may ask questions and share concerns. The moderated format will ensure that a constructive dialogue takes place over the course of the meeting.

Seating in Tucker Theatre is limited to 900 seats. Attendees must have a ticket to be admitted to the Town Hall Meeting in Murfreesboro.

Tickets will be handed out on a first-come, first-served basis at the theater, starting at 6:00 p.m.

Meeting-goers are asked not to bring signs into the theatre that would obstruct aisles or block the view of others.

Gordon will also hold office hours in Putnam and Sumner counties. He will hold another Town Hall in Gallatin at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 26 at Vol State's Wemyss Auditorium.
