Will Congressman Tom Reed seek increased security at Town Hall meetings?

A day after a mass shooting which critically injured a U.S. Congressman, there’s no sign that local Representative Tom Reed will be slowing down his town hall meetings.  We reached out to Reed’s office this morning and asked if the town halls would continue and would there be increased security. Communications Director Samantha Cotten issued the following statement - “The safety of constituents and our team members is a priority, but as a matter of office policy we do not discuss the specifics of how we secure our district offices or public events.”
