Shri Thanedar has not publicly weighed in on In-Person Town Halls with Constituents During the 2025 Congressional Session

Shri Thanedar has accepted documented donations from sectors with material interests in "In-Person Town Halls with Constituents During the 2025 Congressional Session" but has no public statement, vote, or hearing record on the topic. Expected position: As the U.S. Representative for Michigan's 13th District — a safe Democratic seat representing Detroit — Thanedar would be expected to hold open, in-person town halls where his constituents could question him directly on his votes, his PAC spending scandals, and the allegations about his son. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Thanedar held only one virtual town hall event (January 28, 2025 — posted to Facebook) and no in-person town halls during the 2025 session. The Indian American News noted he was absent from key Democratic organizing events, including missing a Kent County Dems gala that other Michigan Democrats attended. His Detroit News editorial board condemnation, his vote against honoring a fallen sheriff's deputy, and his PAC spending scandals all broke during 2025, yet he did not face constituents in an open forum. During this same window, he was actively voting and posting on social media but refusing direct accountability.

The constituent is owed an explanation of the official's position.
