Hageman holds local townhall meeting

EVANSTON — U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman visited Evanston on Thursday, May 4, for a townhall meeting at the Strand Theatre.

Hageman first spoke about the House Speaker’s race, which saw a hard-fought victory for Rep. Kevin McCarthy in early January.

“You may think it’s old news, but I think it’s kind of important,” she said.

She said her time in Congress has taught her that Representatives spend little time together. “I think that’s in part why our Congress has become so fragmented,” Hageman said.
