About 25 were gathered around lunchtime to press for a town hall meeting with the Harding Republican.

Many voiced disappointment in the 12-term Congressman’s vote to repeal Obamacare, after he initially expressed opposition to the GOP’s Trumpcare alternative. 

He also was criticized for voting the party line every time, despite proclaiming moderate values.

Don and Newly Preziosi were particularly upset that Frelinghuysen, who chairs the House Appropriations Committee, supported President Trump’s plan to defund the National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and Public Broadcasting.
