Washington Congressman Holds Facebook Town Hall

Occupy Wall Street was the first question asked about in Washington Congressman Jim McDermott's first Facebook town hall this week with 150 of his constituents.

Representative Jim McDermott, a Democrat hailing from Washington state’s seventh congressional district, held his first Facebook town hall this week.

The livestreamed event might be one of the first Facebook town halls using live video by a congressional office, according to a spokesperson for the Washington congressman.

McDermott answered questions and garnered feedback from participants for more than an hour.

According to his spokesperson, the Facebook event is another tool in the congressman’s arsenal, helping him reach as many constituents as possible.
