Justin, do you know of any members of Congress that do Town Halls well? I have always considered you to be fairly unique when it comes to a commitment to transparency and accountability over the last decade and a half.
Although my agreements with you are pretty tangential, this article really resonated. A friend of mine who served for years in a state legislature told me that when a prospective candidate approached him for advice (after my friend had left the legislature) the advice he offered was to read at least one news outlet with whose editorial positions he disagreed (every day). I think he would agree with your suggestions.
Ah, I remember seeing a YouTube video of Justin Amash dealing with a hostile woman at a town hall meeting, a few years back, and I recall he did a perfect job of it. Respectful, firm and factual.

Thanks! I really don't know anyone who does them the way I do. If I find someone who does, I'll be sure to mention it here.
