David Kustoff has accepted documented donations from sectors with material interests in "In-person constituent town halls" but has no public statement, vote, or hearing record on the topic. Expected position: As a five-term congressman representing 767,898 constituents in a district with a 10.2% poverty rate and significant rural hospital access issues, Kustoff would be expected to hold regular, publicly accessible, in-person town halls where voters can ask unscripted questions about his votes and policy positions. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Kustoff has not held a public, in-person town hall in approximately five years. During this period, he has been actively issuing press releases, appearing on Fox Business and Newsmax, and meeting with business owners and public leaders. When constituents gathered to protest his OBBB vote in May 2025, organizers said 'David Kustoff has not held a public town hall in about five years' and that he 'only meets with business owners and public leaders.' A March 2025 town hall event featuring Kustoff was cancelled, with organizers citing 'safety concerns.' His spokesperson said he 'welcomes all questions, comments, and concerns from his constituents' and that constituents can contact his office. A Change.org petition from constituents demands he hold a 'free, public town hall meeting.'
