Indiana U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz Westfield event continues trend of contentious town halls
U.S. Representative Victoria Spartz held her first of two town halls in her Indiana district this weekend. Friday in Westfield she planned to answer constituent’s questions about improving healthcare, balancing the federal budget, and fixing the national debt.
Spartz is the first House Republican to hold a town hall in Indiana after Speaker Mike Johnson encouraged GOP members to skip town halls. Members of Congress faced tough questions from their constituents recently at town hall meetings. Spartz’s town hall was no different.
Some people showed up as early as 3 p.m., including Christine Kassebnia, who waited 2 hours to get in. She said she is concerned about potential cuts to Medicaid and Medicare. She wanted to ask Spartz about that and said she feels under-represented.
“We are not represented by this… at all. Not one thing have I heard from them, that represents me or anybody in this room. I don’t think we have any billionaires here, do we? I don’t think so,” Kassebnia said.
