Democrat Dave Christie, who is running for Congress in the 9th Congressional District, will host a Town Hall meeting from 1-4 p.m. Saturday, June 30 at the Kent Commons Green River Room, 525 Fourth Ave. N.

The redrawn 9th District includes portions of Kent and Auburn as well as northeast Tacoma, Federal Way, southeast Seattle, Mercer Island and Bellevue.

Adam Smith, D-Tacoma, currently represents the 9th District and is running for re-election. Other challengers to Smith on the Aug. 7 Primary ballot include Democrat Tom Cramer and Republicans Jim Postma and John Orlinski.

Christie is a member of the LaRouche Political Action Committee whose goals include to impeach Obama, restore the Glass-Steagall act (also known as the Banking Act passed by Congress in 1933 that prohibited commercial banks from participating in investment banking) and a return to Hamiltonian National Banking.
