About Our Absent VA-05 Representative John McGuire…

Posted on

Since he’s not coming to Charlottesville to hear from his constituents, Kristin Szakos is helping to organize trips his nearest office in Lynchburg so he does hear from us! Consider coming along some time; contact kszakos@gmail.com for information.

You can also write or call McGuire’s office to share your concerns:

April Recess Town Hall in Charlottesville!

McGuire’s feeble telephone town hall last month won’t do; he needs to face his constituents and answer their questions in person. Indivisible Charlottesville is organizing a town hall during his April recess (April 14-27). Stay tuned for time and place; we’ll have all the details in our weekly Call to Action email.

He’s been invited to attend, but if he doesn’t, Democrats and others will still hold the town hall to make our demands for “redress of grievances,” as the Constitution’s First Amendment guarantees.
