Tom Barrett Trolls 7th District Constitutes by Ignoring Town Hall while Making Public Appearance within Walking Distance

Tom Barrett Snubs Constituents, Attends Basketball Game Instead of Town Hall

Local guerilla journalist Jacki Krumnow of NOW News covered the "Tom Barrett-less Town Hall" at MSU’s Wilson Hall, hosted by Indivisible for 7th District constituents. Halfway through, attendees learned that Barrett—who won by just 3.7 percentage points—was mere minutes away at MSU’s Breslin Center, attending his daughter’s basketball game instead of addressing his voters. The congressman’s choice to ignore the town hall while making a public appearance within walking distance has sparked backlash.
