Your Voice Directs My Vote: Town Halls, Live Request Tracking & More, Robert Beers for Congress

 

Real Representation: You Guide Me. I Work For You.

A NEW KIND OF CONGRESS

"What if your representative didn’t just listen—but let you lead?
I’m pledging not just to serve Charleston, but to hand you the reins. No more closed doors. No more unanswered requests.
Here’s exactly how you’ll hold me accountable—starting Day One."


YOUR DIRECT LINE TO ME

1. Quarterly Town Halls — You Choose the Spot

  • When: 2 weeks before every Congressional recess (April, July, September, December).

  • Where: First 3 locations set by you (submit suggestions → [Link]). Rotating between:

    • Charleston Peninsula (e.g., Burke High School)

    • Rural Areas (e.g., McClellanville Community Center)

    • West Ashley/James Island (e.g., Windjammer)

  • Rules:

    • All locations/dates posted 14 days early on this site + local papers.

    • No topic off-limits. Bring your bills, your complaints, your solutions.

    • *"If 50+ residents request a town hall in your neighborhood? I’ll add a 5th."*

2. Real-Time Request Dashboard — Track Every Ask

  • Submit any issue → flooding aid, potholes, VA delays, housing help → [Link to Form].

  • Watch progress live:
    ![Request Tracker Mockup: "Ms. Johnson - FEMA Flood Claim → Received 5/1 → Assigned 5/3 → Resolved 5/15"]

  • "See your request move from ‘submitted’ to ‘solved’—no black boxes."

3. YOUR VOTE DIRECTS MY VOTE

  • Pilot Project: A secure online portal for District 1 residents ONLY.

  • How it works:

    1. I post upcoming bills (e.g., "Coastal Flood Research Funding Act").

    2. You vote: "Yes," "No," or "Need More Info."

    3. I pledge: "I’ll vote with the majority’s guidance—and explain publicly if I dissent."

  • "This is YOUR seat. Not a party’s. Not mine."

Fix Charleston First: Accountability, Floods, Housing & Audits | [Robert Beers] for Congress

 SECTION 1: WHY I’M RUNNING

"For too long, Washington politicians have ignored our needs. They send billions overseas while Johns Island floods, teachers can’t afford rent, and potholes crack our axles. I’m running because Charleston deserves a representative who listens—then fights."

SECTION 2: THE PLEDGE

1. 4 Town Halls, Every Year
"I’ll come to you—whether you’re in Awendaw, Folly Beach, or Hollywood. Bring your ideas, complaints, and solutions. No scripts, no filters."

2. Stop the Flooding, Fund the Research
"I’ll secure federal dollars for pump stations, marsh restoration, and partner with MUSC/College of Charleston on climate resilience tech."

3. Lower Housing Costs + Upgrade Homes
"Let’s incentivize affordable duplexes/townhomes, repair public housing mold/AC units, and cap rent hikes near military bases."

4. Repair Roads + Bridges NOW
"No more ‘temporary fixes’ on Maybank Highway. We’ll use federal grants to rebuild roads right—with local contractors."

5. Annual Audits: Your Money, Transparent
"I’ll publish online reports tracking every federal dollar: Did it fix floods? Create jobs? You’ll know."

SECTION 3: LOCAL ROOTS, REAL SOLUTIONS

"I’ve sat in your living rooms after hurricanes. I’ve heard from veterans waiting 6 months for VA appointments. This pledge comes from you—and I’ll never stop fighting to make it reality.
Because Charleston shouldn’t have to beg for what we deserve."
