May Remsing: Why is our Congressman avoiding us?

When I try to call Jeff Denham’s office I am told he will not be holding in-person townhall meetings in Modesto. I wonder, with a population of 200,000 constituents, why he will not come to talk with us? Being elected means listening and responding to our concerns and questions. I look forward to a large venue with a frank conversation with my elected congressman.

May Remsing, Modesto
