town hall

KCUR hosted a town hall in Belton, Missouri, with Republican U.S. Rep. Mark Alford of the 4th Congressional District. He answered questions from constituents about what's happening in Washington — including the Trump administration's immigration policies and tariffs, recent protests, and violence against lawmakers.

A model where renters would own and govern the buildings they live in would create community accountability and lower the barrier for low-income tenants to achieve stable housing, according to organizers.
