Senator Chuck Grassley is set to hold meetings in 11 Southwest Iowa communities starting Monday, July 1st. Grassley will hold town meetings in Bedford, Corning, Red Oak, Clarinda, Sidney, Glenwood, Logan, Harlan, and Audubon. In Atlantic, Grassley will speak at the Rotary Club meeting and he will tour and hold a Q&A session with employees at Griffin Pipe Products Co., Inc. in Council Bluffs.

Grassley has said that “Representative government is a two-way street. It’s strengthened by dialogue between elected officials and the people we represent. I plan these meetings to listen to concerns, hear points of view, and respond to questions directly from Iowans.” Grassley has held at least one meeting with Iowans in every one the state’s 99 counties since 1980, when he was first elected to serve in the U.S. Senate.

With the upcoming meetings in Southwest Iowa, Grassley will have been to 84 Iowa Counties so far this year. The nine town meetings on Grassley’s July 1st-2nd schedule are open to the public.

Grassley will speak with the Rotary Club of Atlantic on Tuesday, July 2nd from 12pm-1pm at the Heritage House located at 1200 Brookridge Circle in Atlantic.

In Harlan, Grassley will speak from 2:15-3:15pm at the Harlan Community Library at 718 Court Street.

And, in Audubon from 4-5pm at the Audubon County Economic Development Corporatin at 800 Market Street.
