This has been a busy district work week for Congressman Walz an his staff. Still there's time for a store stop during which constituents can meet with their U.S. Representative and some of his staff.
The details:
Today, Congressman Walz announced that he will resume his tradition of Saturday Store Stops this Saturday, February 21 in Albert Lea.
By visiting local grocery stores during peak shopping hours, Walz hopes to hear from constituents who might not otherwise request a meeting or submit their opinion on policy topics.
"I hope that people will take a few minutes Saturday morning to stop by and express their thoughts and concerns. I feel it is important to give everyone a voice during this time of economic trouble," said Walz.
