U.S. Rep. Tom Allen, a Democrat running for the U.S. Senate, is inviting the public to a “Conversation for Change and Community Supper” in Waterville on Monday.

The event, which begins at 5:30 p.m., will be held in the library of the Alfond Youth Center Boys and Girls Club/YMCA at 126 North St.

In a statement from his campaign, Allen talks about the need to “change the direction of Maine and this country” by bringing troops home from Iraq, giving tax breaks to the middle class, and addressing climate change.
