Stefanik's report recommends representatives hold town hall meetings

Feb 17, 2017 12:05 am
Casey Seiler reports in Capitol Confidential that holding town hall meetings is one of four recommendations of Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-Willsboro) in her report released Feb. 15 “Millennials & the GOP: Rebuilding Trust with an Untapped Electorate.” Stefanik, like other local Republican representatives, has been ducking town halls this winter. On Feb. 13, about 80 people demonstrated outside Stefanik's Glens Falls district office asking for the Congressperson to meet with constituents in a town hall forum. Locally, John Faso (R-Kinderhook) has yet to hold a town hall meeting despite numerous requests and protests outside his offices in Kingston, Delhi, and Kinderhook. Local activists have organized and invited Faso to their own town hall meeting 6 p.m. Feb. 24 at Kingston City Hall. Read the full story in Capitol Confidential.
