Full chamber floor — Speaker / Majority Leader controls scheduling
Requires Congress members to hold regular town halls with constituents.
The problem
Members of Congress may have limited direct contact with voters. Citizens may struggle to access their elected representatives for questions or concerns.
The proposal
Mandates that House and Senate members hold periodic town hall meetings open to constituents in their districts or states.
The impact
Congress members must dedicate time to public meetings. Constituents gain structured opportunities to meet representatives. Administrative burden increases for congressional offices.
Town halls give citizens direct access to their elected representatives. Voters can ask questions and voice concerns in person. This strengthens the connection between government and the people it serves.
Regular town halls put representatives in front of constituents who elected them. Members must answer questions about their voting record and positions. This transparency can encourage responsive and accountable governance.
Town halls create opportunities for citizens to meet and discuss local issues. Constituents learn about policy debates directly from their representatives. Communities become more informed about the legislative process.
Mandated town halls ensure consistent documentation of representative-constituent interactions. Citizens gain insight into concerns across districts. Public records promote transparency in government.
Organizing and holding regular town halls requires staff time, travel, and logistics. Congressional offices may need additional resources to manage events. Taxpayers bear the cost of these mandated activities.
Members must travel and spend time at town halls instead of legislating. This could reduce time available for committee work and bill drafting. Scheduling pressures may affect congressional productivity.
Town halls may only attract highly engaged citizens, missing many voters. Working people and minorities may have difficulty attending. The bill does not guarantee broad or representative participation.
Large public gatherings can attract hostile crowds or protesters. Security costs and risks increase for representatives and attendees. Heated political climate may lead to disruptive or unsafe events.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
