Ann Wagner Hosting Phone "Town Hall" Tuesday

You can sign up for a chance to talk to the second district Congresswoman.

Written by Gregg Palermo.


In recent years members of Congress have moved away from holding town hall-style meetings in their districts while the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate were in recess.

Former U.S. Representative Russ Carnahan gained attention in 2009 thanks to a fight outside one such event after he had been heckled at another one. 

Now, members have embraced tele-town halls. U.S. Representative Ann Wagner (R-Ballwin) will host a phone version Tuesday night.
