GREENFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – Massachusetts congressman Jim McGovern was in Greenfield Tuesday night to hold a public town hall.
Residents there packed the auditorium and outside of the Greenfield Middle School to share their concerns with McGovern over the current state of the country and the executive orders by the Trump administration.

McGovern says that he plans to continue these meetings, especially within republican districts.
