I encourage all local residents to participate if possible.
Representative government is a two-way street.
I have a responsibility to travel throughout Iowa and hold meetings to discuss issues. In turn, Iowans need to voice their concerns and ask questions of their elected officials. Keeping in touch, Grassley has conducted a meeting in each of Iowa's 99 counties at least once every year since 1981. Representing Iowans in the U.S. Senate, Grassley is Chairman of the Special Committee on Aging, the Subcommittee on International Trade and the Caucus on International Narcotics Control. He is a senior member of the tax-writing Senate Finance Committee, the Agriculture Committee, the Budget Committee, and the Judiciary Committee.
