More than 200 out for Rep. Mark Pocan’s town meeting in rural Belmont, WI. Community center is so full that folks listen from outside through open windows. Pocan, a Democrat, opened meeting for folks from Republican Derrick Van Orden’s neighboring district, and dozens came to defend Medicaid and VA.
