WASHINGTON – Senator Chuck Grassley will hold three town meetings in southwest and south central Iowa on May 5 and May 6 as part of his annual 99-county meetings.
With these meetings, Grassley will continue his long-standing practice of 36th year holding constituent meetings in every one of Iowa’s 99 counties. Grassley has held a meeting in every county, every year since he was first elected to serve in the U.S. Senate. His question-and-answer sessions are open topic and cover whatever subjects those attending choose to raise.
May 5 and May 6 Grassley will be in Bedford, Mount Ayr and Leon.
“Representative government is a two-way street. I’m one half of the process and the people of Iowa are the other half. You can’t have representative government without dialogue between elected officials and the people we represent,” Grassley said. “I appreciate the opportunity to hold town meetings, answer questions and take comments.”
Grassley will be available for 15 minutes after each meeting to answer questions from local reporters. These town meetings are open to the public and media.
