A.4(e). Public Access and District Accountability

Each Senator must hold at least four public town halls or community meetings in their State every year. These meetings must be announced beforehand and open to everyone in the district.

Senators must keep an office in their State’s Capital with staff who can answer questions, help people with government services, and listen to public concerns. In large States, the Senator may, with approval from the Senate Leader serving at the time of the request, establish other branch offices throughout their State for the same purpose.

Each Senator must also post their schedule, how they vote, and any public statements online in a way that is easy for people to find and understand.
