Many of you have shared that you were unable to access the recent telephone event hosted by our congressman, Representative Mike Haridopolos. Despite requests from constituents, Haridopolos refuses to hold an in person town hall so Brevard Democrats are responding by hosting a Grassroots Town Hall this Saturday at 12:30 PM to bring the community together for a discussion on important issues and shared concerns. We know democracy works best when all have a voice! Thank you Brevard Democrats for hosting this event.
