Overview

• The Democratic National Committee has announced a new series of 'People's Town Halls' in Republican-held districts during the congressional recess starting next week.
• Town halls will focus on Republican budget proposals, criticized for threatening critical programs like health care, Social Security, and food assistance.
• Events are scheduled in Arizona's 6th District, Pennsylvania's 8th District, Colorado's 8th District, North Carolina's 9th District, and Missouri's 2nd District.
• High-profile Democrats, including Sen. Cory Booker and Reps. Greg Stanton and Maxwell Frost, will participate in the events to amplify voter engagement.
• Republicans have countered claims of disengagement, stating they connect with constituents through virtual and in-person events, while some leaders warn of activist disruptions at these town halls.
