WASHINGTON – Sen. Chuck Grassley will hold six town meetings in Iowa August 23, August 24, August 29, August 30 and August 31 as part of his annual 99 county meetings.

These six 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.

Grassley will be available for 15 minutes after each meeting to answer questions from local reporters. These town meetings are open to the public and media. Details for the upcoming meetings follow.
