House Republicans schedule twice the town halls this recess

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on Aug. 14, 2023

House Democrats are spending this month in relative hiding from constituents.

Democratic representatives have so far scheduled only 41 town halls during the August recess, according to LegiStorm data. House Republicans have scheduled 83 - more than double that of Democrats.

All but five of Democrats' town halls and all but four of Republicans' will be held in person.

During last year's August recess, House Democrats held 104 town halls. House Republicans held 100.

Reps. Tracey Mann (R-Kan.) and Josh Brecheen (R-Okla.) hold this recess's record for the most town halls. Mann held 16 events in early August; Brecheen will hold 16 this week.
