Citizens can now meet one on one with visiting representatives in their communities.
Sonny Bono, who died prior to completing his term in the House of Representatives, started the trend. He had become aware of a program utilized by other congressional representatives to keep in touch with the people in their far-flung districts. Alta Arm-strong of the Hemet office, met with six or seven people at Granny's Pies who stopped by between 10 a.m. and noon on June 11. Even if we don't get any, we just like to be there, just in case. She said it is important to Rep. Bono that her office continue the program initiated locally by her late husband.
