Grassley to hold public meetings across North Iowa in March

WASHINGTON – Iowa Senator Charles Grassley will hold series of town meetings across the North Iowa region in March.

“Representative government is a two-way street.  It’s strengthened by dialogue between elected officials and the people we represent,” Grassley said.  “I like to hold a combination of town meetings, where everyone is invited to attend and ask questions on any subject, and meetings where I go to people in their workplaces and at community events to reach people who may not go to a town meeting.  I also like spending time with high school students as they study current affairs and our system of government.”

The Cities of Mason City and Clear Lake, as well as Cerro Gordo County, recently spent thousands of dollars to travel to Washington, D.C. to visit Grassley and other elected officials from Iowa who are routinely in the North Iowa area meeting with the public.
