Republicans more than triple Democrats' recess town hall numbers

Posted by Jenna Ebersole on Sept. 8, 2015

As Congress emerges from an August recess, Republicans are returning with a more than three-to-one advantage in engaging with their constituents in town halls.

Republicans in both chambers collectively hosted 572 events since the start of recess at the end of July in the House and in early August in the Senate, compared to Democrats' 142. The divide was 427 Republican town halls in the House to Democrats' 136 and 145 Senate Republican town halls to Democrats' six.

Republicans also have the top 10 slots for members with the most town halls this year. Rep. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) leads with 140 compared to Sen. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) with 133 and Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) with 55.

The vast majority of events the town halls were in person, though several members in the House also held radio, telephone, Twitter and Facebook events.

The numbers are according to tracking by LegiStorm, which continues to add town halls from the last few weeks. The list includes only events where the member was a direct participant.  

Subjects: Sen. Mike Crapo (R-ID); Former Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI); Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND)
