9. My GOP member of Congress has yet to hold a live Town Hall Meeting

I live in the PA-11th congressional district represented by Lloyd Smucker. Smucker was first elected to Congress in 2016 and has never held a live town hall meeting. He will only meet with selected groups of his constituents, typically business folks and major donors, privately who fawn over him and heap praise for everything he is doing. Smucker is gutless and spineless, the worst of the worst who will vote to cut our Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid in a heartbeat. He does virtual telephone town halls every few months where they screen the questions and are a complete farce.

I live in the deep red PA-36th Senate district where James Malone flipped that +16 Trump district from red to blue in the recent special election and so we think we at least have a shot at unseating Smucker next year. I am a 35-year Democratic Committeeperson and we are working to identify a strong candidate to challenge Smucker next year.
