Melissa Freitag, candidate for state representative, will meet with Vineyard residents from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 20, at the Waterside Market on Main street in Vineyard Haven.

Ms. Freitag, who is on the government and history faculty at Cape Cod Community College and active town government volunteer, is arranging public sessions at various points across the district. She said in a statement that she hopes residents whom she has not yet been able to meet will come by to speak with her about their concerns on state and local issues.

She plans to hostess a few more Meet Melissa sessions on the Vineyard before election day in addition to privately-hosted coffees and events across the Island. For details, see melissafreitag.org.
