WESTFIELD, INDIANA — It was not a warm homecoming for Rep. Victoria Spartz.

The third term House Republican faced constituents at a rowdy town hall outside Indianapolis – a role reversal for her and how she operates on Capitol Hill, where she is often a bomb thrower and a thorn in Speaker Mike Johnson’s side.

The event, which was moved from its original location to a convention center in Hamilton County to accommodate a larger crowd, was made up mostly of Hoosiers who challenged Spartz on everything from the Signal-gate saga to potential cuts to Medicaid and Social Security to Elon Musk.
