State Rep. Ed Jutila, D-East Lyme, will hold office hours to meet with constituents on Saturday in East Lyme and Salem.

As in past years, Jutila is seeking constituents’ participation as he prepares for the upcoming legislative session, which begins Feb. 5, according to a news release.

“It is always important for me to listen to constituents and get input on their priorities, concerns and ideas before session,” Jutila said in a statement. “It gives me a good sense of what matters most to them and helps me make decisions on related issues.”

Jutila will be available from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Saturday at the East Lyme Police Department, 278 Main St., Niantic, and from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Salem Volunteer Fire Company, 424 Hartford Road in Salem.

Jutila is chairman of the Government Administration and Elections Committee and a member of the Transportation and Public Safety and Security Committees.
