Rep. Derek Kilmer announced the opening of his first district office located in the Norm Dicks Government Center in Bremerton.

The district office will deal primarily with casework and community outreach. Residents of the 6th District who have comments, questions, or need assistance with a federal department or agency are encouraged to contact the office.

Kilmer will host an open house at the district office from 3-5 p.m. Jan. 17.

“I’m pleased to announce the opening of our office in Bremerton,” Kilmer said. “My goal is ensuring that my staff and I are as accessible as possible to folks throughout the region. With this office and the others to come, I look forward to collaborating directly with constituents on solving the issues facing our region, and making sure government works for them.”
