Franking

Travel

• Elise has three offices in her district, plus her office in D.C. that she travels between.

Many of Elise's constituents believe that she doesn't care enough about them. Just from looking at the comments on her social media posts I could tell that there are some very upset people. They believe that because she doesn't ever respond to comments, or tweets, that she is just taking their votes for granted. The big thing right now though is that she didn't show up to a town hall meeting. According to this article, when asked when she would start doing town hall meetings she said that she wouldn't, so this community decided to plan one for her. She declined the invitation and instead had the large crowd of people that showed up write down their concerns on note cards, and speak their concerns into a camera.
