WASHINGTON, D.C. – Sen. Chuck Grassley will hold town meetings in Iowa Aug. 23-24 as part of his annual 99-county meetings.
These open town meetings are in addition to question-and-answer sessions at local businesses, high schools and service clubs in two dozen counties.
“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 from Iowans.”
Grassley will be in Ringgold County on August 23, Taylor County on August 24, O’Brien County on August 29, Osceola County on August 30 and Monona and Shelby counties on August 31.
Grassley is in his 37th 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 takes and answers questions on any subject raised.
These town meetings are open to the public.
Upcoming meetings: Ringgold County town meeting will be from 3:45 to 4:45 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 23, at Ringgold County Courthouse, 109 W. Madison St., in Mount Ayr and Taylor County town meeting will be from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 24, at Bedford City Hall, 625 Court Ave., in Bedford.
