Empty Seat Town Hall for NY21

On March 23 in Glens Falls, the group IndivisibleADK held a town hall for NY Congressional district 21. Their representative, Elise Stefanik has recently been appointed ambassador to the United Nations by Donald Trump, but has yet to be confirmed. Members of IndivisibleADK claim that Stefanik has been ignoring her constituents for some time as she pursues a national or international spotlight. The meeting, which was filled to capacity with several people unable to get in to the hall, had a cardboard cutout of Stefanik on a chair at the front of the room. After an introduction from Cheryl Bratton, members of the audience posed questions to their absent Congressperson.
