I couldn’t see Cline when I was up there speaking in my borrowed suit, but it said everything when he bounced off the stage afterwards, refusing to shake my hand. To fix real problems, first you have to talk to the people suffering from them. He has never done that, not once.

"Beth Macy accepts joint appearance invitation Oct. 14 in Clifton Forge

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sept. 25, 2026

Contact: Ralph@bethmacyforcongress.com

CLIFTON FORGE — Beth Macy, Democratic candidate for Congress in Virginia's 6th District, has accepted an invitation to attend a Community Conversation with her incumbent opponent Oct. 14 at Clifton Forge's Historic Masonic Theatre. The invitation was extended "with the support of Mountain Gateway Community College and the Alleghany Highlands Chamber of Commerce," organizer Joan Vannorsdall wrote in a Sept. 18 letter to Macy.

The event "is open to the public with prescreened questions asked by our moderator, providing residents of the Sixth Congressional District with an opportunity to meet both candidates for the district seat, and hear and understand their stances on the vital issues at hand," Vannorsdall wrote. Dr. John Rainone, president of Mountain Gateway Community College, has agreed to moderate. The event is scheduled from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Main Auditorium.

"I greatly look forward to the opportunity to meet with the Clifton Forge community once again and hear what is on their minds as November 3 approaches," Macy said. "This is the most important election of our generation, and 6th District constituents deserve a chance to talk directly with all of the candidates.""

Nothing says fiscal responsibility like exploding the deficit for rich tax breaks, then letting sequestration carve Medicare. Seniors pay more while corporations win. Big Beautiful approach: cut access, hike costs, call it reform. Elderly noticing yet? #RepublicanMedicareCuts
