Phillips draws large crowd for town hall after week of impeachment hearings

Close to 300 people filled a college auditorium in Brooklyn Park, Minn., on Saturday for a town hall meeting with U.S. Rep. Dean Phillips.

The freshman Democrat, who represents the 3rd District in the western Twin Cities, drew a largely friendly crowd after a week of impeachment hearings in Washington.

Speaking with MPR News ahead of the town hall, Phillips said that while he’s not a member of the House Intelligence Committee, he attended as many of the hearings as he could.

Rep.-Elect Dean Phillips Announces “Representation Begins with Listening” Town Hall

Phillips makes good on campaign promise with first free, open-to-the-public town hall meeting as a Congressman-elect for Minnesota’s 3rd Congressional District

EXCELSIOR, MN — Rep.-Elect Dean Phillips today announced that he will hold his first public town hall meeting since being elected on Monday, December 17th at Oak Grove Elementary School in Bloomington, Minnesota.

Phillips’s campaign for Congress was based on the idea that representation begins with listening, and in addition to appearing at well over 120 public events over the course of his campaign — including dozens of town-hall style events — he committed to holding free, open-to-the-public town hall meetings at least quarterly while in office.

In his remarks on election night, Phillips promised to hold his first town hall before even being sworn into office, which elicited cheers and applause from the crowd. Here are the details:
