Multiple Town Halls Scheduled Across U.S. by Senators, Representatives

Recent town halls across the U.S. have seen lawmakers addressing concerns about federal program cuts and support for vulnerable populations. In Arizona, Sen. Mark Kelly criticized proposed staffing cuts at the Department of Veterans Affairs, warning that reductions could undermine care for veterans and introducing legislation to protect VA jobs. Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley announced a town hall in Massachusetts to discuss her opposition to Trump administration policies, particularly those affecting federal workers, immigrants, Medicaid, and Social Security. Similarly, Rep. James Clyburn is holding events in South Carolina to address senior citizens’ concerns regarding Social Security and Medicare, emphasizing the need for public understanding of potential impacts from executive actions. These events reflect a broader focus among Democratic lawmakers on defending essential services and supporting both federal employees and recipients of government benefits.
