Congressman Andy Kim, whose New Jersey 3rd Congressional District includes half of Stafford Township and all of Barnegat, will discuss the Afghan refugee situation in a telephone town hall starting 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 23.

Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst is one of seven U.S. military bases that are at the center of the government’s effort to temporarily house Afghan refugees who flooded into the country after the hasty evacuation of their country at the end of August.
