Former U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke will hold a public town hall meeting at 3 p.m. Saturday, July 19, at the Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen. The free event is part of O’Rourke’s national tour to foster community conversation about local and federal issues.

Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and hear from the former Texas congressman and presidential candidate.

O’Rourke has recently held more than a dozen town halls in Texas and visited several states—including Alabama, Oklahoma, California, and North Carolina—to meet with voters and organize on college campuses.

This will not be O’Rourke’s first visit to Virginia. During his 2020 presidential campaign, he held public events in cities including Richmond, Roanoke, Norfolk, Hampton, Charlottesville and Alexandria.

The town hall is hosted by Powered by People, the voter mobilization group O’Rourke launched in 2019. The organization has focused on grassroots engagement, voter registration and civic education through events across the country.

The July 19 event will be held in the Cardinal Ballroom at the Cultural Arts Center, 2880 Mountain Road. RSVPs can be submitted at poweredxpeople.org.
