LINCOLN — Like his other town halls in recent years, U.S. Rep. Mike Flood dealt with boos and jeers during his roughly hourlong gathering last week in his hometown of Norfolk, Nebraska.

Some in the audience of roughly 200 attendees asked Flood about his stance on federal support for voter-legalized medical marijuana in Nebraska, the Trump administration’s nearly $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund, the state of the economy, the Epstein files and his support for President Donald Trump.

Flood and his team anticipated the reactions of some constituents, much as they did news coverage of the town hall, including stories with headlines such as “GOP Rep Heckled at Trainwreck Town Hall as Trump Backlash Boils Over.” Flood says he isn’t deterred from making his case to his voters in person at town halls, as other congressional Republicans have stopped.

He says he wants his constituents to interact with their government because “nothing gets better if we’re not talking to each other.”
