JOHNSTOWN, Colo. (CBS4) - One of Colorado's Republican leaders held two town hall meetings recently.
Representative Ken Buck met with only Democrats in two separate meetings.
He says he reached out to Democratic leaders in his district and asked them to invite others from their party to attend.
"It's been very beneficial. Both sides learned a lot of good information about healthcare to take back to D.C.," Buck said.
Buck says he's also spending time each week answering phones in his office and personally returning emails.
