CLARKSVILLE: @RepMarkGreen can’t show up for a free & open town hall but he can charge $500-$3500 to have coffee with him at a country club Friday? He knows a majority of his constituents can’t afford that. Who does he represent? 🤔

Also, at the least, look up what you can vote for and be sure to turn out. These local races have even lower turnout - we’re talking one vote making the difference whether you live in a “red” or “blue” area. Your vote matters. Use it.
