Claudia Tenney has accepted documented donations from sectors with material interests in "In-person town halls and direct constituent engagement" but has no public statement, vote, or hearing record on the topic. Expected position: As a five-term congresswoman representing NY-24, Tenney would be expected to hold regular in-person town halls where constituents across her 15-county district can ask unscripted questions about her votes, tariffs, and federal budget cuts. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Tenney has refused repeated requests to hold in-person town halls. Constituents organized an 'empty chair' town hall in Sackets Harbor where over 350 people crammed into a ballroom to voice complaints to a chair meant for Tenney. She blamed 'paid protesters' as her excuse not to hold meetings. Her office claimed they were 'working on it' for months, then said Capitol Police had not given permission — a claim former Rep. John Katko's office could not verify. When constituents gathered peacefully outside her Canandaigua office, she had them removed by law enforcement. A constituent letter documented that Tenney's office stopped responding to inquiries about town halls after repeated promises.
