Republican presidential candidate John McCain will hold a town hall meeting next Wednesday morning at Gonzaga University.

The Arizona senator will be in Spokane, Seattle and Bremerton six days before the Washington presidential primary on Feb. 29 and 13 days before the state parties’ precinct caucuses on March 7.

The meeting, which is open to the public, is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. in the Spokane Room of the COG dining hall.

Brendan Hill, the campaign’s Spokane spokesman, said the room holds 400 to 500 people, and seats will be available on a first-come basis.
