What’s going on in Washington— This past week, I had the honor of traveling across our district for our 3rd annual Town Hall Tour.

With more than 110 public events in two and a half years, including 15 town halls just this week, we are proving we keep our word. Our annual town hall tour is an opportunity for us to connect with you, our constituents, face-to-face, hear your concerns, and answer your questions.

I will always show up. Over the course of this tour, we visited communities large and small, listening to your questions, your ideas, and your frustrations. You shared with me questions about tariffs, the confusion over Medicaid and SNAP misconceptions, the importance of protecting our freedoms, and the pride we all take in our communities.

These town halls aren’t scripted. They’re about hearing from you directly. I stand before you, answer your questions, and will be taking your feedback back to our nation’s capital.

Being your voice in Congress is not just about voting on legislation; it’s about being present, accessible, and accountable. That’s why I will continue to hold these town halls throughout the district. Help for solving the challenges we face comes from the hardworking people right here in MO-04.

Thank you to everyone who came out, asked tough questions, and shared your perspective. Together, we are making sure Missouri’s values are heard loud and clear in the halls of Congress.

As always, our office door is open, our office phone numbers are available, and our website is always ready for you to contact us. Whether it’s at a town hall, in our district offices, or through a phone call or email, I am here to serve you.
