WASHINGTON - Senator Chuck Grassley will hold nine town meetings in Iowa Jan. 6 through Jan. 8 as part of his annual 99-county meetings. 

With these meetings, Grassley will begin his 36th year holding meetings in every one of Iowa's 99 counties.  Grassley has held a meeting in every county, every year since he was first elected to serve in the U.S. Senate.

Jan. 6 through Jan. 8 Grassley will be in Grundy Center, Allison, Waverly, New Hampton, Calmar, Cresco, Osage, Manly and Clear Lake. 

"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."
