Donbas was never russian. It was Cossack land, Then a part of the Ukrainian SSR. Ukrainian voices, songs, traditions - All lived there, long before tanks came. russia rewrites history To justify bombs. But truth doesn’t burn so easily. Donbas remembers. And Ukraine remembers too.

"Beth Macy...has scheduled two additional town halls where the public has the opportunity to engage and ask questions of their future U.S. House representative...Ben Cline has repeatedly stated he would conduct town halls — a promise he has yet to fulfill. " bluevirginia.us/2026/10/wedn...

ROANOKE — Beth Macy, candidate for Virginia’s 6th Congressional District, has scheduled two additional town halls where the public has the opportunity to engage and ask questions of their future U.S. House representative.

Oct. 14: Healthcare Town Hall

Historic Masonic Theatre

(The Underground Lounge and Cafe)

510 Main St.

Clifton Forge, VA 24422

6:30 to 8 p.m.

Oct. 15: Data Center Town Hall

Lord Botetourt High School Auditorium

1435 Roanoke Road

Daleville, VA 24083

6:30 to 8 p.m.

From the beginning of her campaign, Macy has pledged to talk to all residents of the 6th Congressional District, regardless of their political affiliation. Since the summer, she has held 8 town halls or listening sessions, all open to the public, in locations across the district. She’s heard from military veterans denied benefits, DOGE-affected federal employees, stressed-out farmers, neighbors of planned data centers and transmission lines and everyday families turning to food pantries for their grocery staples.

“Affordability. Transparency. Respect. I will fight for my constituents on all of these fronts,” Macy said. “And I will always make time to listen and to learn from them.”

Her opponent, Ben Cline, has repeatedly stated he would conduct town halls — a promise he has yet to fulfill. As recently as May, he told Charlottesville’s News29 that he would conduct 22 town halls with his constitutents. Yet his interactions with residents of the 6th since then have not been open to the public or widely advertised.

“Have you seen Ben ‘in the wild?’ He stays in his ‘safe’ zone because he knows his constituents are fed up with him being a Trump lap dog,” Macy said. “They are outraged by politicians who duck their obligation to meet with the people who pay their salary — taxpayers!

“I will meet with anyone and not play favorites. Red, blue, who cares? As your representative, I will sit down and hear you out, always.”

This is the most heartbreaking stories I’ve heard in a long time. ICE detained 2-year-old Orlin Hernandez Reyes’ mother. She begged to be reunited with him before deportation. ICE refused. What happened next is horrific. No matter how you feel about immigration, normal people don’t like cruelty.
