WASHINGTON – Senator Chuck Grassley today reminded Iowans that that he will be holding meetings in 16 counties from August 24 - August 28. The visits are part of Grassley's annual meetings in each of Iowa's 99 counties. The Senate will not be in session for a scheduled congressional recess.
"I've met with Iowans in every county, every year I've represented Iowa in the United States Senate. It's this exchange of ideas that gives me greater insight directly from Iowans," Grassley said. "Holding a meeting in each of our 99 counties gives me the opportunity to have an open and honest dialogue with the people I serve in the U.S. Senate."
Grassley's meetings will take him to the counties of Calhoun, Cherokee, Clay, Dickinson, Emmet, Greene, Humboldt, Ida, Lyon, O'Brien, Osceola, Palo Alto, Pocahontas, Plymouth, Sioux and Woodbury.
Grassley will hold town hall meetings in Cherokee, Estherville, George, Humboldt, Ida Grove, Jefferson, Le Mars, Pocahontas, Primghar, Rockwell City, Ruthven, Spencer, and Spirit Lake.
He will be a guest at Silent Drive in Orange City to tour and meet with employees. Grassley will also be hosted at Knoefpler Chevrolet for a roundtable discussion with auto dealers.
In addition, he will be a guest speaker at the Sibley Kiwanis in Sibley.
