“Being an elected official is about accessibility, listening and acting in the best interest of the people you are honored to represent,” Young said. “Over the past three years, I have had the honor of hosting hundreds of meetings with thousands of Iowans. These open office hours serve as an additional resource for my bosses who want to petition their government, or seek assistance with government red tape, in person.”
