Rep. Steve Chabot announced at the start of this month he'd hold a series of town halls this year.

Up until now, though, the Republican from Westwood hasn't widely publicized when and where these town halls would be.

One was already held in Miami Township on Feb. 9 where 16 people showed up, Chabot's spokesman said.

The congressman isn't trying to keep the town halls secret, his spokesman, Brian Griffith, told The Enquirer. His office has used a firm to make robocalls to constituents alerting them to where the town halls are being held.

"We're trying to target the neighborhood and keep it neighborhood-focused," Griffith said.

The town halls are open to anyone, he said. Chabot hasn't held in-person town halls since 2014. Chabot's Democratic opponent last fall, Aftab Pureval, slammed him for not holding town halls.

The four town halls this week are the only ones scheduled so far. Chabot's office will book them as the congressman's schedule permits. As of now, Chabot hopes to hold another series of town halls the third week of March, Griffith said. Times and locations to be announced.

"We don't want to cancel one if we can avoid it," Griffith said. "We want to do as many neighborhoods as time will permit."
