Mullin Reschedules Town Hall for Friday

Oklahoma U.S. Rep. Markwayne Mullin has scheduled a town hall meeting for this Friday, months after canceling a similar event at the last minute.

Mullin canceled a town hall in Tahlequah in April, citing safety concerns.

"Over the past few weeks, we have seen an escalation of protesters at congressional town halls across the nation," Mullin said in a statement then, adding that his staff and the venue couldn't come to an agreement over security.

Friday's town hall will be at 10 a.m. at First Baptist Church, 201 Commercial Road.

The event is open only to people who live in Oklahoma's Second District, and Mullin's office is telling people to register for the town hall.

"I anticipate a productive conversation on Friday that will help us move forward together in our work to make sure the Second District continues to be a place we’re all proud to call home," Mullin said in a statement.

No signs will be allowed inside the town hall.
