Congresswoman Erin Houchin has ‘put a pause’ on regularly scheduled office hours with constituents in Bedford.
Every third Wednesday from 2 to 4 p.m., members of Houchin’s staff would host mobile office hours at the StoneGate Arts and Education Center in Bedford.
Yesterday, the Executive Director of the center, Linda Henderson, received notice from Houchin staff member Amanda Lowery that those hours are being ‘put on pause.’

After media reports on contentious town halls with Republican lawmakers, House speaker Mike Johnson suggested members stop doing them.
It is unclear if other townhalls around the state will also be halted. The events page on Houchin’s website has no events posted in the future.
Houchin’s office did not respond to WFIU/WTIU’s questions.
This story has been corrected. A previous version mentioned an upcoming luncheon with the Ellettsville Chamber of Commerce in error.
