Once upon a time, it was typical for members of Congress to host regular town halls in their districts to meet constituents, answer questions, and discuss important local issues.

That’s not so typical anymore. When I defeated Peter Roskam back in 2018, he hadn’t held a single town hall during all of his six terms in Congress. And he’s not the only one. Many of my Republican colleagues are afraid of being confronted, afraid to stir up controversy, and afraid of being held accountable.

Folks, I learned a long time ago that it’s best to face things head-on. That was always my tune in the business world, and I’m still singing it now.

That’s why I held a town hall on the mother of all controversial topics, Donald Trump's impeachment. When inflation took off, I held a town hall to discuss it. I held one on red-lining and the segregation of neighborhoods in Chicago. I could go on and on.

And you know what? I’ve found that people are almost always respectful if they’re in a room together. I never disguise my opinions, but it helps when we’re all dealing with the same set of facts. And I always leave feeling as though we understand each other a little better than before.

So I’ll continue having those tough conversations wherever I can. But I need your help to continue standing up as a voice for truth, reason, and accountability in Washington. Will you back me up by pitching in $25 today?
