CULPEPER, Va.—On a telephone town hall hosted by the seniors’ group AARP on Thursday night, Rep. Abigail Spanberger was peppered with questions about how to lower the cost of prescription drugs and support caregivers, two important planks of the $3.5 trillion spending package Democrats on Capitol Hill are currently crafting.
But just two days earlier, as the Virginia Democrat toured farms in the district, some of her other constituents aired worries about whether that amount of spending could fuel inflation, while also expressing concern about some of the tax changes under discussion as part of the package.
