HARKIN REGIONAL DIRECTOR TO HOLD “LISTENING POST” AT WATERLOO CITY HALL

Senator Encourages Area Residents to Stop By, Share Concerns and Ask Questions

DES MOINES – Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) announced today that his Regional Director, Beth Freeman, will hold a “Listening Post” on Monday, February 4, 2008 at Waterloo City Hall to help him continue his work on behalf of Iowa’s interests. Freeman will bring Harkin’s mobile office to Waterloo to hear the concerns of Black Hawk County residents and be of assistance to those with questions about their dealings with the federal government.

“Our mobile office is a great way for my staff and me to keep in touch with Iowans,” said Harkin. “Folks don’t have to travel far to find out what I’m working on or how I can help them with a problem. Every year my mobile office reaches out to all 99 counties bringing information and assistance to the people of our state.”

Harkin’s staff travels across the state to ensure that all Iowans have easy access to constituent services and information.  The “Listening Posts” supplement office hours already in progress at Harkin’s five regional offices in Cedar Rapids, Davenport, Des Moines, Dubuque, and Sioux City.

Details of the Black Hawk County “Listening Post” are as follows:
