Beto O'Rourke says he would require his Cabinet to hold monthly town hall meetings if he were to be elected president in 2020
Beto O'Rourke said Monday he would require his Cabinet to hold monthly town hall meetings if he is elected president in 2020.
The former Texas congressman said he would sign an executive order on his first day in office requiring the town halls"to listen to you and to be accountable to you so that we deliver for you." "Not a handpicked audience. Not a theatrical production. But a real, live, town hall meeting -- not just to answer questions, but to be held accountable," O'Rourke told progressive activists at the We the People Summit in Washington.
