Grassley, Ernst staff plan office hour in Charles City

To The Press

The regional directors for U.S. Sens. Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst will hold traveling office time in Charles City next week, focusing on agriculture-related issues and federal policy.

The Floyd County office hour will be 10 to 11 a.m. Wednesday, March 11, in Room 108 at the NIACC office, 203 Brantingham St., Charles City.

Area residents are invited to stop by during the scheduled hour to seek assistance or share concerns with the Iowa Republican senators’ staff, according to information released by Grassley’s office. The senators will not be at the meeting.

Grassley’s and Ernst’s state offices also regularly help constituents contact federal agencies to resolve problems with Social Security payments, military service matters, immigration cases and other issues.

“My staff in Iowa act as my eyes and ears while I’m in Washington and it’s important that I hear regularly from farmers and those working in the agriculture industry,” said Grassley.

“My staff helps Iowans with issues they may have with the federal government and I hope anyone experiencing problems will use this resource,” he said.

Ernst said, “When I can’t be there, members of my team help fill the gap. I’m glad to announce that staff from my office, and Senator Grassley’s, are holding these traveling office hours across the state to listen to and hear directly from our farmers and agriculture community members.”

The two senators’ staffs will also be in Cerro Gordo County later in the day Wednesday. They will be at the Farm Bureau Office from 1 to 2 p.m., at 2650 Skyview Lane, Mason City.
