Ninth District Day is a day-long seminar hosted by Congressman Adam Smith to bring together his constituents and leaders in Washington.

Last year’s speakers included:

• Washington’s Senators Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell
• Senator John McCain
• Senator John Kerry
• CBS “Face the Nation” host Bob Schieffer
• House Democratic Leader Richard Gephardt
• Republican Rules Committee Chairman David Dreier
• Former Washington state Congressman Al Swift
• Pentagon Spokesperson Victoria Clarke
• FAA Administrator Jane Garvey

Comments from last year included:

“I found the Ninth District Day program was very helpful in gaining an understanding of how our government works in DC.”

“Wonderful variety of viewpoints and topics covered. There had to be something for everyone on that menu....Nice balance....you gave us perspectives from both parties, as well as third party outsiders.”

“The speakers were informative and inspiring.”

This year’s program promises to be equally interesting and exciting! Once again, it will be held the Thursday before the Washington State Society’s annual Potlatch event (please note that Potlatch tickets are not included when you register for Ninth District Day) in the U.S. Capitol complex.

Mark your calendars now!
