U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan has held no town hall events in Kenosha County this year, but his spokesman said that could change.

Ryan represents Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District, which includes Kenosha County.

“We will continue to do these popular events, including in Kenosha County, but I do not have a date to share at this time,” said spokesman Ian Martorana in a statement to the Kenosha News.

Last month, Ryan held a telephone town hall event for Rock and Walworth County residents.

After the event, Martorana said Ryan reached thousands of people.

Ryan’s most recent in-person, in-district listening session in Kenosha was in April 2015.

Ryan was in the area last Friday, taking part in the Celebrazione Italiana event at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, but took no questions from the press or area residents.

In recent months, Congressional Republicans across the nation have faced backlash when returning to their respective districts for town hall events.

State Sen. Bob Wirch, D-Kenosha, said Ryan owes it to Kenoshans to host more in-person town halls.
