Pandemic Paranoia: Dozens of Elected Dems Still Locking Constituents out of Taxpayer-Funded Offices

Dozens of elected Democrats still have their state and district offices in pandemic mode, locking constituents out of their taxpayer-funded government offices, a Washington Free Beacon investigation found.

Across the country, American taxpayers—who foot the bill for congressional district offices—attempting to visit their representatives are greeted by signs that tell constituents the government is locked to them. The Free Beacon in recent weeks found that at least eight Democratic senators locked their constituents out of their taxpayer-funded offices and that over two dozen House Democrats’ in-district offices around the country are closed or inaccessible to constituents.

Meanwhile, many of the businesses surrounding them are completely open. In Las Vegas, for example, work from home was halted for city employees last March, and hospitality workers show up daily to cater to the hordes of tourists who drive the state’s economy. Minutes from the bustling Las Vegas strip, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D., Nev.) has her government office closed to visitors.
