Grassley’s traveling office coming to region on Nov. 2

Sen. Chuck Grassley’s (R-Iowa) Regional Director Penny Vacek will hold traveling office hours in Henry, Jefferson and Van Buren counties on Nov. 2.

Iowans seeking assistance regarding a personal issue with a federal agency or wishing to share views on matters of federal policy may stop by during the scheduled hours.

These meetings will follow guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the state of Iowa. Participants must adhere to local COVID-19 guidelines. Grassley will not be in attendance.

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

“My top priority is serving the people of Iowa. Traveling office hours held by my staff is one way of doing that,” Grassley said. “My staff helps Iowans with issues they may have with the federal government. I encourage anyone experiencing problems to stop by staff office hours in their area. Iowans can also reach out directly to any of my offices throughout the year.”

Traveling office locations and times are:

• Henry County: Mt. Pleasant City Hall, 8:30-9:30 a.m.

• Jefferson County: Fairfield City Hall, 10:15-11:15 a.m.
