On June 27, Senator Portman’s staffers listened to groups of constituents all day long. A well-known Cincinnati R told MoCs to stand up to DJT and his intolerable behavior. Other Rs did the same. A few MoCs hinted at steps to improve the ACA – steps both parties can buy. A journalist reminded Ms. Huckabee-Sandersof the media’s and administration’s role in a democracy. And there’s us. MoCs are listening. Let’s keep pushing them to do right!
