"I believe accountability and accessibility to the families of our district is very important." -Rep. Gillibrand January 11, 2007
Hudson, NY- Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand (NY-20) today announced that she will be creating a Congress At Your Corner program as part of her office’s ambitious constituent outreach efforts. Basically the program is designed to take her office out into the communities she serves in order to hear from constituents so that she may better represent the families of the twentieth district. “I believe accountability and accessibility to the families of our district is very important to being an effective Representative and I am committed to both,” said Representative Gillibrand, who was recently appointed to the House Agriculture Committee. “Instead of asking folks to come to my office I want to go to them and make it convenient for them to see their Member of Congress.” Throughout the year Congresswoman Gillibrand will be scheduling public appearances in communities throughout the district at weekend hot spots such as grocery stores and shopping centers. The Congresswoman will have congressional staff with her and be available to discuss issues that are on the voters minds, listen to their opinions and even open case files to help them with any problems they may be having with a federal agency. “This last election was about taking back our government from the special interests and I plan to lead by example. Going out to the community I serve and soliciting the opinions of my constituents will be an important part of that process,” added Gillibrand. “With the new expanded work week in Washington it is important for me to meet with as many people as possible on the weekends.” Representative Gillibrand’s first Congress At Your Corner events will be held this Saturday, January 13th at the following times and locations. Throughout the year all scheduled Congress At Your Corner events will be sent to the media in advance with the hopes that they will help alert area residents.
