    Letter: Young Kim should stop hiding behind press releases
    • August 6, 2025

    When we elect someone to represent us, we expect them to show up — not just in Washington, but here at home. With Congress on recess this August, our Representative should be holding a real, in-person town hall. Not a tele-townhall where questions are screened and scripted. Not a closed-door meeting with a select few. A real town hall where every voter has a chance to be heard, ask questions, and get straight answers.

    Lately, it feels like too many politicians would rather hide behind press releases and social media posts than face their constituents directly. But public service isn’t supposed to be easy — it’s supposed to be accountable. That’s what town halls are for. There are real issues facing our community: unidentified, masked ICE agents kidnapping people, people soon to be kicked off Medicaid, and so many others that deserve open and honest discussion. We deserve to be part of that conversation — not shut out of it. I’m urging Young Kim to step up and schedule a town hall this August. Show up. Listen. Answer questions. That’s not too much to ask. That’s democracy.
