Members of a group calling itself Stand Indivisible posted up on a Phoenix sidewalk Wednesday next to a life-size cardboard cutout of U.S. Rep. David Schweikert.
The group of independent voters, retirees and military veterans say they’ve spent years unsuccessfully trying to get a sit-down meeting with the Republican lawmaker.
U.S. Navy veteran Nick Prestera says Schweikert’s Scottsdale office is really a fortress that is always locked.
“The cutout symbolizes the man we can never talk to. The man who never listens to us,” Prestera said.
Schweikert’s office did not reply to a request for comment.
He won a seventh term in the U.S. House last year.
