North Carolina Senate candidate Michael Whatley has now had police called on reporters at two of his public campaign events and hides on friendly podcasts — anything to avoid answering questions.
Running for governor, Marsha Blackburn skipped a public forum, won't say if she'll debate, and claimed she'd done 'lots of forums' — until WSMV checked with her opponents and found it wasn't true.
Two more things: constituents turned up at his town halls in Bonham and Sherman to tell him they're hurting, and he coauthored the 2013 Texas law that closed half the state's abortion clinics.
DOGE wiped out 23,500 civilian federal jobs in Virginia, and he says he believes the House will write those cuts permanently into law. He calls in-person town halls 'inefficient' — and skipped the 'empty chair' one his constituents held without him.
A New York Times reporter finally spotted the missing New Jersey congressman at his home. He has skipped more than 100 votes since March — but kept trading stocks.
It's one of three things worth knowing: he also hides from voters behind phone-only town halls, and scored 0% from the League of Conservation Voters in 2025.
