As citizens of Northwest Ohio, we insist on an open forum dis ussion with our representative. Public comments in text and calls are being ignored. Please demonstrate a modicum of concern for the will of your constituents by a town hall meeting. We can do the leg- work of setting up the room and refreshments. Direct discourse is greatly needed.

What's the matter, Bob? Are you afraid of coming face to face with your constituents, of answering our questions on your positions? You owe it to us to show up! It's part of your job, after all. I am highly dissatisfied with your screened question and canned response telephone townhalls.

Latta is a Trump puppet. We need someone who will hold sick and sadistic Donald accountable. Jim

Bob Latta works for the people of OH-5. We pay his current salary and will pay his lifetime pension. He has an obligation to physically meet and communicate with his constituents in an open forum. Any public servant who refuses to ever appear in a public forum, to discuss important issues, does not deserve to remain in office.

I was raised in NW Ohio and now live in SW Ohio. I totally support a "Candidates issues % Answers Forum." All over Ohio Citizens are advocating for these forums, because we believe in Democracy.

I have requested townhall meetings with my representative, Bob Latta, for two years. He has refused. I have used the limited means to communicate with him (through his staff) and have received letters in response that are not related to my concerns. If the congressman isn’t responsive to his constituents then he needs to cease to represent us.

Interesting note; Bob Latta and his father before that have been my representative for probably 30 years. I met his father many years after he retired. Micheal Galbraith is taking his first run at this seat and I've met him a dozen times! What does that say about willingness to hear my thoughts? Bob, please show up!

It is time for Latta to come out from behind the shadows and speak to ALL his constituents. I want to hear from both the candidates and hear how they plan to represent District 5.

I would welcome an opportunity to hear our current representative speak. I have had several opportunities to meet and learn his Democratic challenger, Michael Galbraith’s views, but in the 11 years Mr. Latta has been our representative, including at the 2018 Wood County Fair, I cannot recall an opportunity to hear him speak. (Mr. Latta was scheduled to introduce the Jr. Fair royalty and the parade, but instead hid in the back of the Pork-a-lean stand.
