LINDLEY, N.Y. – Representative Tom Reed hosted a town hall today at the Lindley-Presho Volunteer Fire Department in Lindley, N.Y. Constituents raised concerns ranging from health care to various budget cuts. Democratic candidate for Congress, Rick Gallant, attended the town hall and issued this response:
“Although Rep. Reed is doing his job by holding towns halls around this district, his voting record in Congress shows that he doesn’t listen to the concerns of the people he was elected to represent and that these town halls are little more than political theater.”
