Here's what people are saying after attending one of Joan's many events

Town Hall Reviews

  • Informative and thought provoking. 

    - H. Debenport 

  • We badly need to have someone to replace Ann Wagner and is clearly an excellent candidate to accomplish that task.   I wish her well and will make a contribution to the cause. 

    - W. Fogerty 

  • Excellent discussion.  Learned things from all speakers.  Impressed with Joan’s determination to be a force for change.  

    - L. Mansfield 

  • Great balance of speakers and small group discussion. I thought the length of the event was perfect.  Not too long, but gave us time to ask important questions and discuss important issues.

    - P. Mathews 

  • Great experience.  Met cool people.  Asked questions. 

Bridging the Divide Reviews

  • Loved it. Keep doing what you’re doing to encourage people to engage in civil dialogue.  It’s truly what our nation needs right now to have any chance of healing.  Thank you for your commitment to democracy. 

  • What a great time I had.  It was wonderful to be among like-minded people.

    - D. Reese

  • I learned more about Joan’s approach to politics, as well as ways to have better dialogue with those who have different views than I.  

    - H. Debenport 

  • I really enjoyed Joan’s talk and appreciate her commitment to bridging the divide.  Thank you and good luck.  District 2 needs someone like Joan bringing us together!

    - W. Truitt

    - L. Reinheimer 

  • Good experience.

    - M. Copple

  • This talk was exceptional.  It is a great topic at any time when we’re having a hard time truly hearing each other, especially those who may not align perfectly with us and our thoughts.  The event also gave me a good understanding of how Joan would fulfill a position as a Congresswoman, and I really liked what I heard and saw.  She is compassionate and empathetic, and deeply wants to understand all sides of any topic, which is what we really  need in our representatives.

    - M. Gadallah

  • The material presented was fantastic and it was very engaging, relevant and there was lots of table conversation.  It was an incredible experience.
