U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins will face constituents tomorrow in Lawrence
Lynn Jenkins, who represents the Second Congressional District in Kansas, announced earlier this year that she’ll be stepping away from politics in 2018, when her current term in the U.S. House of Representatives expires.
Perhaps the decision has Jenkins feeling a touch lighter than others representing Kansas in the U.S. Congress. All of Jenkins' colleagues have been too cowardly to appear at town hall meetings over the last month. (Looking at you, Kevin Yoder, Pat Roberts and Jerry Moran.)
Jenkins met with constituents two weeks ago in the obscure town of Highland, Kansas. Twenty people turned out for the occasion, which “lacked the raucousness” of town halls happening in other parts of the country, according to the St. Joseph News-Press.
Next week, though, Jenkins will participate in a “listening tour” session in Lawrence. One imagines the discourse at this college town date might be more spirited, particularly in light of the hapless roll-out of Republicans’ plan to repeal and replace Obamacare. Jenkins, a Tea Party favorite, was outspoken in her opposition to the Affordable Care Act.
The event will be held next Monday, March 13, from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m, at the Dole Institute of Politics (2350 Petefish Drive, Lawrence).
