Obama to Open Office in the Quad Cities
WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) today announced that he will open a regional Senate office in the Quad Cities. Obama said he plans to travel to the Quad Cities on Friday, January 27 to officially open the office for business.
"I strongly believe that it's my job to work for every constituent in Illinois, not just the ones who live in certain parts of the state," said Obama. "This new office will give thousands in Northwestern Illinois the ability to speak face-to-face with a member of my staff about the issues that affect their daily lives. I'm extremely excited about this opportunity and look forward to taking this step to help me better serve my constituents in the Quad Cities and all of Northwestern Illinois."
Senator Obama currently has offices in Chicago, Marion, Springfield and Washington, DC. Obama also has a fulltime staff member working in Metro East.
