With the uncertainty rocking our state-from the tragic mass shooting in Anaconda to the closure of the lumber plant in Bonner and a skyrocketing cost of living—we deserve our elected officials to be present and responsive during these challenging times. Instead, those we trusted to represent our voices—Steve Daines, Tim Sheehy, Ryan Zinke, and Troy Downing—seem to be taking a back seat. Mike Johnson's early congressional recess has provided them an extended vacation, at a time when we need them the most.

During periods of distress and change, it is crucial to have a reliable line of communication and support from those in charge. We seek transparent discussions, leadership, and solutions, which can only be achieved through meaningful dialogue between us and our elected representatives. Yet, instead of returning calls to their constituents or stepping up to assist in our state's pressing issues, they appear to be avoiding their responsibilities. It's time for them to face us and listen to our questions and concerns directly.

By signing this petition, we demand that Steve Daines, Tim Sheehy, Ryan Zinke, and Troy Downing hold a public town hall meeting. Here, they should take questions openly from the constituents they have pledged to serve. This town hall is essential not just for accountability but for demonstrating that they truly care about the urgent issues impacting the people of Montana.

Your signature can help ensure our voices are heard, and our leaders are reminded of their duty to stand by us and for us, not hide away. Sign the petition to call for this vital town hall meeting.
