Rep. Peter King (NY-02) participated in a telephone town hall on March 8. According to a Rep. King District Representative this was the first public availability for constituents King held in over 12 years. 

On the call Brentwood resident Rose Kelty, raised concerns of gang violence and retribution against citizens that spoke out against the gangs.  King suggested that he would invite President Trump to visit Brentwood to address the gang violence. Grechen Shirley rejected this as “political pandering,” pointing to lack of concrete action and arguing that King's words never translate to legislative efforts.
