The event will take place at 5 p.m. at the Hudson House Grand Hotel, and it will last about an hour, according to John Gentzel, director of Communications for the Duffy administration.
Duffy was elected to his second term in November, but it will be his first term as Hudson's representative because of legislative rezoning in 2010. U.S. Rep. Ron Kind (D-WI3) remains in office, but his district no longer includes Hudson.
