Congresswoman Victoria Spartz announced on March 27 that her in-person town halls scheduled for March 28 in Gas City and Kokomo will be postponed because of last-minute changes in the House schedule. Spartz said she must remain in Washington following the Senate’s overnight passage of the Department of Homeland Security funding bill and the urgent need to address its funding.
The postponement affects two events: one at 11:00 a.m. in Gas City and another at 2:00 p.m. in Kokomo. The decision comes as Congress works to resolve key federal funding issues, impacting opportunities for constituents to engage directly with their representative.
Spartz stated that she will still hold a tele-town hall on May 13, allowing constituents another opportunity to participate remotely. She also said staff members will be present at both locations on March 28 to collect questions from residents who may not have received notice about the postponement. Additionally, live policy discussions are planned on X every first and third Thursday from April through July at 8 p.m., with further updates available through her office’s website.
Victoria Spartz is currently serving in the U.S. Congress, representing Indiana’s 5th district after replacing Susan Brooks in 2021 according to official information. She previously served in the Indiana Senate from 2017 to 2020 as reported by Ballotpedia. Born in Nosivka, Ukraine, Spartz is now a resident of Noblesville and is currently age forty-four as detailed by the Congressional Biographical Directory. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Kyiv National Economic University in 2000 according to Wikipedia.
The rescheduling reflects ongoing adjustments lawmakers must make during critical legislative periods. Constituents are encouraged to use upcoming virtual events or submit questions through staff or online platforms until new dates for local meetings are set.
