A short time later in the lobby, representatives from Messmer’s office met Bredhold and about 15 group members:

The posters featured hand-written questions and concerns by residents who attended a town hall in Evansville last month.

Messmer was invited but didn’t attend.
Bredhold says it’s frustrating:

"I believe that putting pressure on decision makers is effective. And so we have been trying honestly to pressure him to meet with constituents and hold a town hall, and answer questions. I think his inaccessibility is really outrageous."

WNIN has reached out to Representative Messmer’s office to see when the posters might reach him.
