Derek Kilmer is off to a good start as our new representative in Congress.

Kilmer, who took office Jan. 3, was named to the House Armed Services Committee, and the House Science, Space and Technology Committee. Both committees are important to Kitsap County and the 6th District.

He’s spending a month in the district, meeting and listening to constituents. Thursday, he hosted an open house at his Bremerton district office.

Kilmer (http://kilmer.house.gov) works for you. Get to know him. His district office is in the Norm Dicks Government Center, 345 6th St., Suite 500, Bremerton, WA 98337. The phone number is (360) 373-9725.

The district office deals primarily with casework and community outreach. District residents who have comments, questions or need assistance with a federal department or agency can contact the district office.
