NEW PORT RICHEY – Chris Hunter, a candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives, is hosting a community conversation over coffee.

The event, which is open to the public, is from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. Tuesday (April 17) at the Starbucks, 2914 Little Road, New Port Richey.

The coffee is designed to let voters get to know Hunter, share the issues that matter most, and “engage in civil dialogue.” Hunter said he will be holding conversations throughout District 12. To RSVP, go to facebook.com.

Five of them, including Hunter, are Democrats: Stephen Perenich, Robert Tager,, Sunil Thomas, and Kimberly Walker. Angelika Purkis, who has no party affiliation, is also an announced candidate for CD 12.
