Sen. Joe Getty Hosts 'Meet and Greets' in Carroll County

This fall, Sen. Joe Getty, R-Dist. 5, will host five “Meet and Greet” events in parts of Carroll County that are now in Senate District 5. 

These informal meetings will provide Sen. Getty an opportunity to meet with residents and discuss the upcoming 2014 legislation session, according to a news release.  

Getty is now the  Senate Minority Leader and has been appointed to the Senate Budget and Tax Committee.

Next year’s election will be the first in which the reconfigured state legislative districts from the 2012 redistricting are in effect.
