“750 People are packed in here”

 

CONGRESSMAN JIM MCGOVERN HAS BEEN AN OUTSPOKEN CRITIC IN THE 

HOUSE - WE  PROUDLY SUPPORT HIM & HOPE YOU WILL AS WELL!

Since Trump took office, my Republican colleagues have been hiding from their constituents. This month, they took it to a new level: The chair of the NRCC, the House Republican's campaign arm, told their members to stop holding in-person town halls to avoid the angry backlash over funding cuts, DOGE, and other initiatives by the Trump administration. That's wrong on so many levels,  I don't even want to get into it. Instead, I go on with it — holding a town hall in Greenfield where I made a commitment to a packed auditorium: I will continue to host meetings and be a leader for the American people. But I cannot do that without your support. Typically, we can slow down campaign operations at this point in an election cycle — but unfortunately, we need to be in overdrive to combat the Trump administration and stand up for our democracy. As I told WWLP 22 News, it's not an exaggeration to say that our democracy is in peril right now. Hosting a town hall — even one that brings together more than 750 people — shouldn't make headlines. To me, this is the bare minimum: the people impacted by the decisions of elected leaders deserve to be heard — and the lawmakers should be grateful that people are taking time out of their days to provide feedback on their decisions. Help us ensure that every voice is heard and that the policies they're rolling out do not destroy our democracy by chipping in $16 today toward our next event. Looking at these headlines with my team, I am reminded that this is what democracy looks like, and I'm proud that I represent people who care deeply about this country enough to be involved and push back on policies they deplore. More soon, Jim P.S. A final note to my GOP colleagues in Congress: if you're ashamed of a decision that was made by your party — you can start to make it right by standing up against that decision. Your constituents deserve real leadership, and they'll either get that from you or the person who takes your seat next November. Your choice.
