I am so curious to hear how the audience responded to each other's questions. Were there hoots and applause or was the response quiet nods or something else? If it was applause, id that slow things down and cut into speaking time?
I’m so pleased and proud that you guys were able to do this and it was successful. We did the same thing here in South Jersey in 2016 when Trump first was elected. Congressman MacArthur (rep) refused to hold a Townhall and we held it without him and we did have a huge auditorium filled with people with questions. That was the beginning of indivisible. Love this group good luck in the future. We have lots of power with the people.
The incombent MAGA (high-profile Bob Good, then the Chair of the Freedom Caucus and solidly popular in this conservative and gerrymandered district) made the fatal error of endorsing Ron DeSantis over Trump early in the Republican presidential primary season, and then McGuire primaried him for not being 110% loyal to Trump. McGuire beat Good in the primary and then defeated Democrat Gloria Witt in the general (57%-43% I think).

Exactly! There was frequent applause, and towards the end our moderators asked people not to so we could squeeze in more of people's questions.
Wonderful post! Thank you for your hard work!

What a wonderful idea, congrats to all and thanks so much for sharing.
Fantastic info! An excellent step by step guide. Thanks!
Well done, from planning through lessons learned to this report.
An amazing and effective undertaking. Thank you for sharing We have some "schmucks" in elected offices in Iowa also. :-(
Great job Charlottesville. How does a schmuck like this MIA douche bag manage to get elected?

Dont the kids at UVA vote?
Not all do, of course... but also many students are out-of-state and can be registered to vote in their home states.
Love it . . . thank you!
