Ryan Gatti, candidate for State Senate District 36, will end a month of district wide meet and greets and town hall meetings with an event in Minden on Aug. 27 at Orleans on Main.
The public is invited to the event that starts at 6 p.m.
Gatti has spent the past few weeks traveling and getting to know people from the smallest towns in the district, areas often forgotten by elected officials in Baton Rouge.
“The needs and concerns of these small towns is so personal and often times, very unique; however, very few people take the time to really get to know these issues and spend time in the towns with the people who live there. I was welcomed in Castor, Sibley, Plain Dealing and Doyline. I’ve come to know what they really care about and will be able to truly represent them as the State Senator for District 36,” Gatti said.
“I look forward to having the same conversation with the people in Minden Thursday night and I will keep visiting this entire district, long after election day, because energetic and present leadership is what we deserve.”
