“Representative government is a two-way street, and it requires continued dialogue between elected officials and the people we represent. I appreciate the opportunity to hold town meetings, answer questions and take comments from Iowans. My annual 99 county meetings help me regularly keep in touch with Iowans to better represent them in Washington,” Mr. Grassley said in a statement released in August.
