With the health care debate in full swing, some members of Minnesota's congressional delegation have scheduled town hall meetings to discuss this issue and others with their constituents.

We've contacted the offices of all seven members of Congress and both U.S. senators for their schedules. Here is the information we've received so far. This schedule will be updated as more information is provided.


1st District: Rep. Tim Walz, DFL, will hold a town hall meeting on health care reform on Thurs. Aug. 20, from 6 p.m.-8 p.m. at Mankato East High School's auditorium, 2600 Hoffman Road, Mankato. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.
