Members of Congress are back in their districts for a two-week recess, potentially bracing for more anger from constituents.
Members of Congress are back in their districts for a two-week recess, potentially bracing for more anger from constituents.
But voters in Republican districts might not have much of a chance to question their representatives.
Weeks after Rep. Richard Hudson, the chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee, advised Republican members of Congress not to hold in-person town halls, it appears that most of them are heeding his advice.
According to press releases and publicly posted event notices, the majority of town halls and town hall-style events taking place over the congressional recess will be hosted by Democrats.
The few Republicans who have publicly advised that they’ll be holding town halls include Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Byron Donalds of Florida. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who just launched his 45th annual 99-county tour of Iowa, will also be holding a public town hall in his state.
