Wednesday at the Convention Center 5-6PM
A short article in the Sunday Spokesman in the Northwest Section noted that McMorris Rodgers will hold a town hall in Spokane on Wednesday. With some diligence it is possible to locate the advertisement for McMorris Rodgers’ town hall on her congressional website under the “Events” tab:
I am signed up to receive notifications of “Events” at least two different email addresses, but I have received nothing from “my” Representative to the U.S. House of Representatives for months. One might wonder if she were purposefully advertising her rare in-the-City-of-Spokane “Conversation with Cathy” only to known supporters rather than broadly to all those she is supposed to represent.
The statement “Space is limited” comes with every CMR town hall announcement. It is hard to imagine that the Centennial Ballroom at the Spokane Convention Center would fail to contain those wishing to attend.
There ought to be plenty for her to try and explain, including recent votes against codifying the right to use contraception, the right to marriage equality, and against a right for a woman to cross state lines for medical treatment. The bill numbers (and therefore access to the texts at Congress.gov) can be found, along with commentary, at Contraception and “Our” Representative.
I will be unable to attend—and would be unlikely to be called upon if I did. I hope others will are able to go, prepare good questions, and post a video of the interaction. McMorris Rodgers has much to answer for.
Keep to the high ground,
Jerry
