Rep. Sharice Davids launches community conversations to take 3rd District issues to Washington. Rep. Sharice Davids on Wednesday announced she is launching a series of community conversations across Kansas’ Third Congressional District. These conversations will offer constituents the opportunity to hear from Davids on issues that matter to the community. Davids’s first community conversation is this Saturday, Oct. 26 in Kansas City, Kansas, moderated by former KCK Mayor Carol Marinovich. “Representative is more than a job title – it’s my most important responsibility as a member of Congress,” Davids said. “In order to best represent the people of Kansas’ Third District, I have to be present and accessible in all corners of our region, listening to the folks in our community and sharing information about the work I’m doing at home and in D.C. Our community conversations will provide a chance to dive deep into the issues that matter most to our community, so I can continue to take Kansas voices to Washington.” The event below is free and open to all residents of Kansas’ Third Congressional District. Due to space constraints, constituents are asked to RSVP here.
