In October 2018, shortly after her election, Meehan received media attention for an online confrontation with a constituent. The constituent had been criticizing Meehan on local platforms. After being elected the criticism continued and Meehan responded in a facebook tweet. "I would love to have a face to face, because you certainly like to slam me here.
