Grassley meets with Pella family

Grassley Press

Washington, D.C. — Senator Chuck Grassley this week met with Olivia, Renee, Andrew, Ann and Derek Millar of Pella during their visit to the nation’s capital.

“I’m glad the Millar family made arrangements for a meeting,” Grassley said.  “This kind of dialogue, between elected representatives and the people we represent, is a big part of making the process of representative government work.”

 Grassley makes it a priority to sit down with Iowans when they are in Washington. He also makes it a priority to visit Iowans while at home.  Grassley has held at least one town meeting in each of Iowa’s 99 counties every year since 1980, when he was first elected to the Senate.  In addition to regular meetings, Grassley responds to every constituent letter, e-mail and phone call.
