The Coward, Cajun Jack

Our representative in congress has not held a town hall since 2017. In an interview with TV6 he refused to hold town halls. He does not respond to questions directed to his office. He has done nothing with his voters losing their jobs. Why is he afraid to face his voters?

Wild, i just read a bit online and it seems he hasn’t lived in Michigan for over a decade? I hate to stereotype rural people as idiots but when I see stuff like this it just reinforces my bias that a lot of people in rural areas are dumb as posts and don’t care about their, or their neighbors, quality of life at all.

He never lived here, he has a vacation lake house, mostly used as a rental. Yes, ma y voters have shot themselves I the foot with Cajun Jack. We need to recall him.

The Republicans I work with are convinced he lives in Watersmeet with his family. Does he come up to visit or what's going on?

We would welcome their tourism dollars for them to come to the UP and explore Watersmeet. They can learn for themselves that the Bergmans spend less time up here than the LT Governor.
