Why Won't Steve Daines Hold a Billings Town Hall?

What exactly does Steve Daines spend his time doing? It’s certainly not fighting for the people of Montana. Though Steve Daines is a very busy man, riding around on a horse, Snapchatting his dinners and meeting with wealthy donors. But he doesn’t pass bills and he absolutely doesn’t meet with his constituents.

Shouldn’t an elected representative’s first priority be to listen to his constituents and get work done for them? Not Steve Daines.

Montanans are sick of the scripted telephone conference callhalls where people from Billings, Bozeman, Butte, Missoula and Great Falls are never allowed to ask questions though they Represent 50% of Montana’s population.

You’d figure a Republican would hold a town hall in Billings, but Steve Daines is too much of a coward to even hold an event there.

I participated in a pop up protest at his Missoula office last summer and we pointedly asked his staff this question. Crickets.
