• Attendees pressed him on Medicaid cuts, Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Washington, D.C., and broader Republican priorities.
• Constituents complained about difficulty reaching his office, prompting Alford to acknowledge, “We are not doing the job we need to be doing,” while directing follow‑ups to his staff.
