Horn Hosts Record Number of Town Halls | 2019-11-13 | 2019 | 2019-11 | Democrat | House | OK | Kendra Horn | H001083 | horn.house.gov | legacy | OKLAHOMA CITY, OK Following Congresswoman Kendra Horn's packed town hall in Oklahoma City on Sunday, the Oklahoma City Free Press reported that Rep. Horn had hosted a record number of town halls during her single term in the House of Representatives, comparing her district events with those of her predecessor. Rep. Horn's town hall on Sunday was her ninth town hall of the year and her fourteenth public event, with more town halls planned before the end of 2019. From the Oklahoma City Free Press: [Rep. Kendra Horn] has managed to hold the center by having more town halls in less than two years than her predecessor and both Senators combined over the last ten. Horn attributes the lack of venom at her town halls to her determination to respectfully listen to constituents all along the political spectrum. It is just a fundamental philosophy for me that it's at the heart of our job to represent people and we can't do that if we don't talk to them and listen to what they're saying,' she told Free Press in an interview in her Oklahoma City office Friday. She said that her focus on getting better base housing conditions for military families at Tinker AFB in Midwest City came from comments she heard at her very first town hall meeting. It resulted in her joining with House members across the aisle to develop new policies for how contractors would be managed as they manage base housing. Rep. Horn has announced another town hall for Sunday, November 17, from 4:00PM to 6:00PM at Sequoyah Middle School at 1125 E. Danforth Road in Edmond. On Sunday, November 23, Rep. Horn will host a public Coffee with the Congresswoman event from 9:00AM to 10:30AM at Aspen Coffee at 180 W. 15th Street in Edmond. Rep. Horn's fourteen public events this year have included town halls and Coffee with the Congresswoman events where residents have the opportunity to raise their concerns directly with their representative. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
