We need to see candidate

As a U.S.-born citizen and resident of and voter in the highly gerrymandered 6th Congressional District, I was interested in your article regarding a day on the campaign trail with Peter Roskam, my current representative, whom I have never seen in person. Many of us of both parties, friends and neighbors, voters who live in my area, have never heard Rep. Roskam speak and would appreciate an opportunity to ask questions and hear his answers. My understanding is that the non-partisan League of Women Voters have offered to host one or more candidates' forums or help set up a true town hall event. When we hear the positions of the candidates on issues and the reasoning behind the votes taken in Congress, we all can vote more intelligently and in our overall best interests.
