WASHINGTON – Senator Chuck Grassley’s meetings in 11 Southwest Iowa communities start Monday, July 1.
Grassley said he will hold town meetings in Bedford, Corning, Red Oak, Clarinda, Sidney, Glenwood, Logan, Harlan, and Audubon. He will speak at the Rotary Club meeting in Atlantic. Grassley also will tour and hold a Q&A session with employees at Griffin Pipe Products Co., Inc. in Council Bluffs.
“Representative government is a two-way street. It’s strengthened by dialogue between elected officials and the people we represent,” Grassley said. “I plan these meetings to listen to concerns, hear points of view, and respond to questions directly from Iowans. I like to hold town meetings, visit service clubs, and go to work places to listen and answer questions.”
Grassley has held at least one meeting with Iowans in every one of the state’s 99 counties since 1980, when he was first elected to serve in the U.S. Senate. With the upcoming meetings with constituents in Southwest Iowa, Grassley will have been to 84 Iowa counties so far this year.
The nine town meetings on Grassley’s July 1-2 schedule are open to the public. Grassley will be available for 15 minutes after every one of the 11 meetings for interviews with local reporters.
