Constituents of New Jersey's 7th Congressional District have a chance this week to ask questions of and hear from U.S. Rep. Leonard Lance, his office announced Monday.

The Republican whose district includes Hunterdon and southern Warren counties, is holding his 45th in-person town hall 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday in the John LaPorta Theater at Warren County Technical School, 1500 Route 57 in Franklin Township, Warren County.

According to the announcement: "During the town hall meeting, Lance will take questions on the important issues facing Congress and the American people. Lance will discuss his leadership role in imposing sanctions against Russia, his involvement in a bipartisan health care solution, the federal budget, tax reform and foreign affairs.

"Additionally, members of Lance's staff will be available to assist residents who are experiencing difficulties with federal agencies such as the IRS, Social Security Administration, Veterans Affairs, the State Department or any other federal agency."

The town hall is free, but tickets are required and are only available to district residents. They will be made available on a first-come-first-served basis at Lance's website, lance.house.gov, beginning at noon Wednesday. There is a limit of two tickets per online entry.
