I attended Congresswoman Foushee's (Dist 4) first in person town hall this year last night. It was a great experience. Their planning and organization at such a small venue (historic Chatham Co Courthouse in Pittsboro) was decent. But just alot more is needed. And as she holds events in the 3 other Counties in her District, that should improve.
Also my perspective on NC House Minority Leader Robert Reives greatly evolved. But the true gem was local Co Commissioner Chair Karen Howard. All 3 spoke from their hearts and most of the 1 hour 10 min was for questions from attendees alternating with written ones from us. The press coverage was somewhat lacking (in part because not better promoting the event IMO) although two local progressive outlets, NC Newsline and IndyWeek, interviewed me.
Brandon Kingdollar gave a nice overview of the evening. The first part he cited from me is definitely accurate. The second part was slightly misunderstood, but no complaints. NC Newsline's story on the Tillis fundraiser and then Tillisless town hall was particularly superb.

Progressive outlets showing up is a positive! And it's always good to get a better sense of your local pols...
