TUESDAY: McCaskill to Hold Three Town Halls in Southwest Missouri

Senator—who has held more public, in-person town halls as Senator than the rest of Missouri’s delegation combined—hosting dozens throughout August in traditionally conservative counties

BRANSON, OZARK, MONETT – U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill—who has hosted more public town halls throughout Missouri in her time as Senator than the rest of Missouri’s Congressional delegation combined—will hold three public town halls in southwest Missouri on Tuesday, August 22.

Tuesday, August 22, McCaskill will hold three public town halls, with media availability to follow, in Branson, Ozark, and Monett. Full details below.

On previous tours this year, McCaskill has already hosted eighteen public town halls throughout Missouri. During debate over the Affordable Care Act—at a time of heightened demonstrations against the legislation—McCaskill held a series of highly publicized town halls, including in traditionally conservative areas of Missouri, to hear directly from Missourians about their concerns and respond to criticisms. In 2014, McCaskill logged more than 1,000 miles around the state on her “McCaskill on Main Street” series of public town halls. McCaskill has also toured the state with town halls aimed at military veterans and seniors—and has hosted individual town halls, such as one she hosted last year with then-U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack focused on the opioid epidemic.
