Dan Osborn@osbornforneOct 11, 2026It’s been 534 days since Pete Ricketts had a town hall. The average price of gas is at $4.36, and diesel is still $6.28
The sources do not give the date of Pete Ricketts's most recent town hall, so the 534-day count cannot be checked. The only day count in the sources is a 524-day figure from a Chadron radio blog post, and the sources also dispute what counts as a town hall.
What we found
Context. The only day-count source, a Chadron radio post, states 524 days since Ricketts's last town hall and ties it to the Cubs' Wild Card elimination; it is an opinion-driven outlet, not an authoritative record, and it gives a different figure than the claim.[2]
Context. Sources show Ricketts has held town halls, including a C-SPAN-recorded Scottsbluff town hall, but none of them gives a date that would let the elapsed days be computed.[1]
Context. Sources report that Ricketts and his opponents disagree about what should count as a town hall, so a day count depends on how the term is defined.[3]
Context. Extraction check: the passage says Ricketts 'had a town hall' while the claim says he 'held a town hall meeting'; the figure of 534 days is the same as in the passage, so the figure itself is not altered by the extraction.
