Updates: Ditmas Park and Flatbush Rep. Yvette Clarke Hosting Feb. 22 Town Hall
Congresswoman Yvette Clarke will host four town halls in the coming months, her spokesman said.
DITMAS PARK and FLATBUSH, BROOKLYN — Ditmas Park and Flatbush residents will have a chance this February to talk politics with Congresswoman Yvette Clarke, who represents the communities.
On Feb. 22, Clarke will conduct an in-person town hall at the Union Temple at 17 Eastern Parkway. The event will also run from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., and will focus on a variety of topics, including, "the Trump administration's threat to health care," spokesman Patrick Rheaume said.
Rheaume also said the February event will be one of four in-person town halls Clarke will hold over the next four months.

[Editor's note: an earlier version of this story reported that Clarke would also hold an immigration-focused telephone town hall on Feb. 8. This event has been cancelled because of its cost, Rheaume said. However, he added that Clarke's office does intend to conduct a town hall at some point in the future.]
Clarke's district includes Park Slope, Prospect Heights, Crown Heights, Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, Flatbush, Ditmas Park and Windsor Terrace.
