At least he bothered to meet with his constituents.
Elise Stefanik hasn't been to Plattsburgh since 2017 for a Town Hall.
She held it in a PBS station so small, you had to win a lottery to be able to ask her a question
Her "goodbye tour" in April does not count.

AOC and Paul Tonko did come several weeks ago.
It was held in a theatre that held 1000 people.
They addressed the thousand more that stood in the rain to hear them.

That is democracy in action.
Republicans do not feel they have to explain their votes to anyone.
Or be held accountable.
Republicans are moral cowards.
