(WGTD)---1st District Congressman Bryan Steil will hold a telephone town hall meeting next week. It’s scheduled for Monday evening at five.
Constituents can monitor the call by registering in advance online or by calling Steil's office at 608-752-4050.
The event comes as opposition builds to the massive cost-cutting initiative undertaken by Elon Musk at President Trump’s behest.
Steil’s office says Monday’s telephone town hall will be the third of the year. Steil--a Janesville Republican-- has also reportedly hosted four in-person town halls.
Thursday evening at the Kenosha Union Club, the Kenosha County Democratic Party is holding a town hall to press Steil to hold additional in-person meetings.
Kenosha County Democratic Party Chair Lori Hawkins says the telephone towns are poor substitutes for in-person sessions where unvetted questions are asked. She questions why Steil can attend political rallies but can't meet face-to-face with constituents.
The Union Club event is to begin at 6:30.
Hawkins says participants will be able to freely voice their concerns and fears and ask questions.
