What’s important above all is that I show up, that I listen to them, and that what they tell me fuels the fights I wage for them in the Senate. I’m not scared of tough, candid conversations, because these town halls make me a better fighter for the state I love.” McCaskill has hosted forty-six public town hall forums on previous tours across Missouri this year. In 2009 during debate over the Affordable Care Act—at a time of heightened demonstrations against the legislation—McCaskill held a series of highly publicized town halls, including in traditionally conservative areas of Missouri, to hear directly from Missourians about their concerns and respond to criticisms. In 2014, McCaskill logged more than 1,000 miles around the state on her “McCaskill on Main Street” series of public town halls. McCaskill has also toured the state with town halls aimed at military veterans and seniors—and has hosted individual town halls, such as one she hosted last year with then-U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack focused on the opioid epidemic. ### Print Email Tweet | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
