The town meetings are planned in Corning, Bedford, Clarinda, Red Oak, Sidney, Glenwood, Audubon, Orange City, Sibley, Primghar, Spirit Lake, Estherville, Emmetsburg, Spencer, Algona, Forest City, Garner, and Manly and are open to the public. Grassley said that he welcomes questions or comments on any subject. Grassley will also visit businesses in Harlan and Larchwood.
"It's important that elected officials keep dialogue with their constituents going. The process of representative government is a two way street. My annual visit to each county is an important part of that," Grassley said. "My visits help me know what Iowans are thinking so I can do the best job representing them in Congress."
