Dr. Ami Bera will host a town hall meeting on June 2 at 6 pm at an undisclosed location within his district, aiming to engage constituents on key issues. The session comes as Bera faces criticism for joining all Republican members and nine Democrats in voting to censure Rep. Al Green for interrupting President Trump’s address to Congress.
Progressive activists and some fellow Democrats have blasted the move as a departure from party solidarity. Observers on local forums have suggested that Bera's vote and his reputation as a centrist could prompt a Democratic primary challenge in June 2026, with names like Dr. Richard Pan and Dr. Flo Cofer floated as potential contenders.
At the same time, Bera’s recent appointment as a DCCC Frontline Co-Chair for the 2026 cycle underscores his standing with party leadership, even as progressive groups call for more left-leaning representation.
According to the Congressman’s office, this in-person town hall will take place at a yet-to-be-announced venue. Constituents are invited to RSVP through Bera’s official channels, and details will be shared via email and social media in the coming weeks.

In an interview, Bera defended his vote as a matter of “radical civility,” arguing that decorum on the House floor is essential for legislative productivity and bipartisanship.
