Updates: Congresswoman Yvette Clarke Hosting Feb. 22 Town Hall

PROSPECT HEIGHTS, CROWN HEIGHTS and PROSPECT-LEFFERTS GARDENS, BROOKLYN — Prospect Heights, Crown Heights and Prospect-Lefferts Gardens 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.
