SUMMARY: Democrats hosted a town hall in Congresswoman Ann Wagner’s district as part of their effort to reclaim Congress in next year’s midterms. Senator Chris Murphy addressed a crowd of over 1,000, criticizing Wagner and the Trump administration. Although billed as a people’s town hall, the event resembled a political rally led by Democratic activists. Voters voiced concerns about immigration policies and inflation. Wagner, attending Pope Francis’s funeral with a congressional delegation, dismissed the event as a “contrived Democrat spectacle” in a statement. Democrats have yet to announce a candidate to challenge Wagner.  

Hundreds of voters were at the town hall to express disapproval of the Trump Administration and call on Congresswoman Ann Wagner, R-Mo., to host a town hall in her district. She is currently travelling to Rome as part of a bipartisan delegation attending the funeral of Pope Francis.
