Neither United States Rep. Jason Lewis nor Rep. Erik Paulsen, of the state’s second and third congressional districts made an appearance at town hall meetings held in their districts Thursday night during the weeklong congressional recess. Organizers in both districts said they would hold the events “with or without” their congressmen. In Paulsen’s district, hundreds packed Mount Olivet Lutheran Church in Plymouth on Thursday night, with many more waiting outside. Although Paulsen did not show up, his constituents who attended learned about what bills he had voted for and against. Organizers also collected questions they would have asked Paulsen if he had been there.
