Screenshot from the article of this excerpt: After Thom Tillis defeated Kay Hagan five years ago to win his Senate seat, he said he would hold town halls in an effort to represent all North Carolinians. At a news conference shortly after the 2014 election, Tillis said, "I think a part of what you do is you get out within the state. Iā€™ll be home every weekend, Iā€™ll travel back every week, and Iā€™ll spend time going out and doing what I did when I became speaker -- town hall meetings. Talk about what your priorities are. Listening and speaking to them." But Tillis hasnā€™t kept that pledge to hold town halls, at least not in the traditional sense.
