Much to our amazement and pleasure, Representative Scott Tipton showed up today to a town hall meeting in Paonia, CO, organized by local Indivisible activists. The plan had been to videotape constituent questions and comments and send them on to Rep. Tipton and Sen. Gardner (who did not show up). When Rep Tipton arrived we had to change our format a bit so that he could respond to people. The overflow crowd of around 200 was appreciative of Tipton’s presence but did not hesitate to let him know when they disagreed with him. There will be video posted to Youtube soon. Clearly, Rep Tipton deserves credit for showing up to what he must have known would be a tough meeting. Hopefully, he has set an example for other Republican members of Congress to follow. We are your constituents, so come and talk with us!
