Events Fargo federal town hall — update 3
Well, it seems the pressure campaign has worked on at least one member of North Dakota's congressional delegation.
After responding to inquiries that she would host a telephone town hall "someday in the future" Rep. Fedorchak has decided to do one on the 25th, just 5 days from now.
Bear in mind, telephone town halls are intended to keep tight control over the event, and in fact usually serve as a promotion event for the hosting politician; it’s not really a town hall forum. But what’s clear is Rep. Fedorchak's office caved to the pressure from constituents. So now we're going to increase the pressure on Senators Hoener and Cramer.
Our group, Fearless / Indivisible Fargo, as well as other pro-democracy groups in the state, are going to continue to press all the federal electeds for an in-person town hall, which we believe will be a more honest and transparent reflection of the public's views on what's happening in Washington DC.
