Ensuring his constituents had access to up to date, accurate information throughout the pandemic was a priority for Supervisor Simitian. Telephone town halls are one of the many ways he engages with residents in his district, and they proved to be a good solution at a time when in-person meetings were not an option. The telephone town halls allow community members to hear directly from Supervisor Simitian and subject matter experts, and more importantly ask questions and get answers in real time. From April to December 2020, Supervisor Simitian held a monthly telephone town hall about the COVID-19 pandemic, and he continued to hold regular telephone town halls in 2021 and 2022.
