For any congresscritter who refuses to meet with the constituents during the recess, this hands fodder to their challengers next year... and it should.
My critter says he won’t (and never has) hold any town hall meetings during the recess.
Instead, he has “office hours” where you can come in and talk to him.
No thanks. I’ll be in the crowd outside with the sign with a pitchfork and torch on it. I have nothing else to say to him.
This would be a great opportunity for a candidate to announce for office and hold his own “town meetings” since the elected representatives refuse to. I would think it would get the ball rolling in a lot of districts.
