Sen. Curtis on DOGE Cuts Protests: One of the Fundamental Responsibilities as Elected Officials Is Accessibility

RUSH EXCERPT:
CURTIS: "Well, first of all, can we talk about the town hall meetings and shout out to these two members and the other members who are doing it. I think one of the fundamental responsibilities as elected officials is accessibility and last week I drove a thousand miles in my truck, and I saw teachers, I saw elected officials, I saw students, I saw school board presidents and protesters and talked to all of them. It basically was a week-long town hall meeting, and I think one of the things we’re not talking about is this stereotype of what a town hall meeting is. I’ve been to over 400 town halls in my seven years in Congress, and I’ve learned that the stereo typical town hall may not be the best way to communicate with your constituents. I’ve changed my town hall format. I actually say a few remarks and I break into groups and I have gone as long as five hours doing the minutes and that’s the accessibility they’re longing for."
