SAVANNAH, Ga. () – Dozens of protesters gathered outside of Rep. Buddy Carter’s office in Savannah Wednesday.

They told they don’t support his voting record in Washington.

“This has hit me hard,” President of Retirees Unite for the Future, Rick Ellison, said. “I’m a retired government worker. I’m a veteran of the Airforce, and I’m also a senior. This is just ridiculous. We can’t sustain. We’ve all been affected by it, and that is why you see so many of us out here.”

Demonstrators said they haven’t been given a chance to speak their minds in person, either.

“Come explain to us, put our minds at ease by having a real town hall, not a tele-townhall where we can’t really get our questions answered,” Joyce Peralta, with Coastal Georgia Indivisible, said. “We want you to answer our questions as to why we should not be afraid because right now there’s a lot of anxiety.”

Some of the issues protestors were most concerned about were healthcare, social security, and benefits for veterans.

“I came here last week asking about my social security check because I don’t know from month to month with all the disruptions whether it’s going to come,” Peralta said. “I plan my retirement around the social security being a piece of it.”

Organizers said they’re looking for clarity on where Carter, a longtime ally of President Trump, stands.

“He votes against us all the time. It’s frustrating,” Ellison said.

In response to the protest outside his office, Rep. Carter’s staff said in a statement “Rep. Carter regularly engages with constituents in a variety of settings and formats. He welcomes anyone with concerns or questions to reach out to our office and schedule a meeting.”
