WASHINGTON – Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) will hold a town meeting on Tuesday, May 23, in Garner and on Thursday, May 25, in Pomeroy as part of his annual 99 county meetings.
“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. My annual 99 county meetings help me regularly keep in touch with Iowans to better represent them at the policymaking tables in Washington.”
This is Grassley’s 43rd straight year of holding meetings in every one of Iowa’s 99 counties. Grassley has held at least one meeting in every county, every year since he was first elected to serve in the U.S. Senate. He answers questions on any subject raised. Iowans set the agenda.
Grassley will be available for 15 minutes after the meeting to answer questions from local reporters. The town meeting is open to the public and media. Details for the upcoming meetings follow.
