Republican Mike Flood Issues Challenge to Fellow House Republicans: “Put Yourself in the Town Square if You Want to Be a Member of Congress”

While vulnerable House Republicans avoid in-person town halls in an attempt to hide from their constituents, one of their own is calling them out and challenging them to face their voters.

This challenge comes after a contentious town hosted by Republican Congressman Mike Flood, where he said “concerns about cuts to Medicaid in the GOP’s ‘big, beautiful bill’ dominated” the event.

“And if you feel strongly about how you’re voting and the choices you’re making,” he added, “you should be able to stand on the town square and be accountable for those votes and tell people why you did it and take their input.” – Republican Congressman Mike Flood

It’s easy to understand why vulnerable Republicans are scared to face the public. Their Big, Ugly Law causes real, lasting damage to millions of everyday Americans, such as:

• Ripping health care coverage away from millions.
• Taking food away from hungry children, people with disabilities, and veterans.
• Increasing energy bills for working families.
• Putting hospitals across the country at risk of closing.

The Big, Ugly Law is a political disaster and House Republicans are running scared because they know it will cost House Republicans their Majority.

DCCC Spokesperson Viet Shelton:
“Vulnerable House Republicans have been hiding from their constituents for so long that even one of their own is calling them out for their cowardice. The public deserve representatives that will listen to and fight for them, not disappear because they’re too scared to admit they’ve sold out working families to please their billionaire bosses.”
