Ted Cruz Locks Constituents Out, Won't Make Appointments
If only they had answered their phones, staffers in Senator Ted Cruz’s office would not have had to shut down the senator’s downtown Houston district office and rely upon the Houston Police Department to clear constituents from the building.
Constituents have been calling their senators daily to register their deep concerns and objections to various Trump appointees. Rarely, a caller gets through to a staffer; most of the the time, calls go to voicemail. Increasingly, the voicemail inboxes (in district offices and in the Washington office) have been full, unable to accept new messages.
Frustrated at being unable to reach their elected representative, 28 people met Tuesday morning to visit the senator’s district office a little after 9 am. Someone brought donuts for the staff.
Four constituents were allowed into the reception area, and two spoke to a staff member, who told them the senator would only meet with representatives of groups, and then, only with an appointment.
