Pressed Councilmember Thao to answer her May 18 letter asking who he represents when remaining seated during the Pledge of Allegiance, on behalf of veterans and District 6 residents.

Defended sitting during the Pledge as an act of conscience, saying Thao represents people like her and that public call-outs are inappropriate.
