State Rep. Monica Robb Blasdel (R-Columbiana) recently hosted a ‘Coffee with Constituents’ event in Carrollton, Ohio. The event, which took place on Friday, provided an opportunity for members of the community to engage directly with their representative.

"Being able to sit down with members of the community and hear their thoughts firsthand is invaluable," expressed Robb Blasdel during the event. She emphasized the importance of such interactions by stating, "Being able to have discussions about important issues is how we are able to get real results."

The 'Coffee with Constituents' meetings, initiated by Rep. Robb Blasdel in 2023, serve as a platform for constituents of the 79th House District to meet face-to-face and address various issues impacting the region. The recent gathering in Carrollton included discussions on topics such as the necessity for funding for a new tornado siren in Malvern, energy-related matters, and a conversation delving into Carroll County's historical significance.

Robb Blasdel's commitment to engaging with the community directly through events like these underscores the importance of open dialogue and collaboration between constituents and their elected representatives.
