"Senator Marco Rubio chose not to have Town Halls during this recess despite the fact that many Floridians had concerns that they wanted to discuss with him," said Hillary Dougherty, a Broward County resident. "Because that opportunity wasn't afforded to us by Marco Rubio, we decided to create the opportunity for ourselves."
Concerns include topics such as the Affordable Care Act, immigration, education, environmental justice, and LGTBQIA rights.
Sen. Rubio has recently received scrutiny after turning down an invitation to a town hall meeting Thursday.
