Expected position: As the representative for 804,578 Arizonans in a competitive R+4 district, Schweikert would be expected to hold regular, open, in-person town halls accessible to all constituents, particularly during periods of major legislative activity like the 2025 budget reconciliation process. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: In 2020, Political Emails reported Schweikert 'hasn't held a real' town hall and was 'phoning it in' with screened questions. In February 2025, the DCCC stated Schweikert 'has refused to hold an in-person town hall for Arizonans.' On March 21, 2025, protesters delivered a 400-signature petition to his Scottsdale office demanding an in-person town hall; Schweikert did not appear. On May 21, 2025, more than 400 Scottsdale-area residents attended a constituent-organized town hall about Trump administration policies; Schweikert 'was invited to attend the town hall, but declined.' A local expert panel noted he 'declined our invitation with some strong words against town halls.' Schweikert remained active on social media and in media interviews throughout this period but consistently refused public in-person engagement.
