U.S. Rep. John Moolenaar (R-Caledonia), who represents Michigan's 2nd Congressional District, will host a virtual town hall this Thursday at 2 p.m.

According to Moolenaar's newsletter, the virtual town hall will include a discussion about his work in Congress and provide an opportunity for people to ask him questions "regarding recent proposals by Congress and the Trump administration."

The announcement comes after roughly 200 people packed into a room at the Isabella County Commission on Aging on March 20, for an “empty chair” town hall. The event was hosted by Indivisible Central Michigan (ICM), a chapter of the national progressive movement organization Indivisible.

Moolenaar's office said the congressman wasn’t going to participate in the March 20 town hall due to Indivisible’s sponsorship.

“Congressman Moolenaar will not be participating in any event sponsored by a radical (George) Soros-funded group with the sole purpose being for him to be heckled, screamed at or threatened,” wrote his communication director. “So-called 'town halls' like this across the country have been overtaken by perpetually outraged activists, unfolding in chaos.”

Rick Brewer has been news director at WCMU since February 2024.
