Kiggans Hosts Productive Telephone Town Hall Ahead of Tax Day

WASHINGTON, DC – This week, Congresswoman Jen Kiggans (VA-02) hosted a productive telephone town hall for the people of Virginia’s Second District, with over 2,500 people calling in from Smithfield to Virginia Beach to the Eastern Shore. With Tax Day approaching on April 15th, the Congresswoman invited a local IRS tax advocate to help answer any questions callers had about their taxes before the filing deadline. The local IRS advocate shared helpful tips and insights and helped guide callers through concerns regarding tax filing and avoiding tax scams.

Apart from taxes, Congresswoman Kiggans answered questions regarding veterans, healthcare, the economy, national security, and more. She also outlined some of her legislative priorities this Congress, which include revitalizing shipbuilding, providing greater funding for our military, improving military quality of life, unleashing domestic energy production through an all-of-the-above energy approach, and holding the VA accountable.

“I want to thank everyone who took the time to join my telephone town hall last night – especially those busy with families, school, work, and other responsibilities,” said Congresswoman Kiggans. “While we may not always see eye to eye on every single issue, I will always lend a listening ear and respect everyone’s right to voice their opinion. As a Navy veteran, geriatric nurse practitioner, and mom of four, I strive to bring a real-world perspective to Washington and work across the political aisle to deliver commonsense results for Virginia’s Second District. Hearing directly from the hardworking people I represent makes me a better legislator, and I look forward to hosting another telephone town hall very soon.”
