Protesters say they want representatives to listen.

WASHINGTON – Members of a left-leaning group tried to get Rep. Tom Emmer, the No. 3 Republican in Congress, to hold a town hall to talk about President Donald Trump’s sweeping changes to Washington.

Receiving no response, Wright County Indivisible and Indivisible North Metro chose to hold one without him. At least 300 people packed into the Monticello Community Center last week.

In Moorhead and Willmar, hundreds have been protesting outside Rep. Michelle Fischbach’s district offices and in the street calling on her to talk to them about what’s happening to the federal government under Trump.

Similar protests have drawn dozens in New Ulm and Rochester in front of Rep. Brad Finstad’s district offices and more outside of Rep. Pete Stauber’s office in Hermantown, Minn.
