Over 500 CD3 Constituents Demand Answers at In-Person Town Hall That Rep. Kevin Kiley Refused to Hold
ROSEVILLE, CA — On Saturday, May 10, 2025, the Placer County Democratic Party, in collaboration with Democratic clubs and Indivisible chapters across California’s 3rd Congressional District (CD3), hosted a live, in-person Constituent Town Hall in Roseville. The event featured special guest speakers Congressman Sam Liccardo (CA-16) and Congressman Jared Huffman (CA-2), who addressed a packed room of local residents about pressing federal issues and the importance of responsive representation.
The town hall was organized due to Representative Kevin Kiley’s (R–Rocklin) continued refusal to meet face-to-face with the people he was elected to serve. Despite a rapidly shifting federal landscape that directly affects local families, Rep. Kiley has failed to offer meaningful public updates, answer constituent questions, or acknowledge community concerns.
“Residents across CD3 are experiencing the harmful impacts of policies supported by Rep. Kiley in Washington, and they are deeply concerned about their futures,” said Nick Bennett, Chair of the Placer County Democratic Central Committee. “Our communities deserve honest answers and accountability — not silence.”
While Rep. Kiley has held two telephone town halls, on March 17 and March 27, many constituents left those calls frustrated, describing the events as scripted and impersonal, with little opportunity for direct engagement or follow-up.
Saturday’s in-person event offered what Rep. Kiley has not: open dialogue, accessible leadership, and a forum for real conversation. Attendees heard directly from two members of the California congressional delegation about federal actions affecting the region, and why staying connected to constituents is more critical than ever.
The Placer County Democratic Party will continue advocating for transparency, accessibility, and leadership that listens.
