Fairgrounds No. (518) 885-9701Congresswoman Kirsten Gillibrand (NY-20) created a Congress At Your Corner program as part of her office’s ambitious constituent outreach efforts. 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.

About Congress At Your Corner : 

"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. "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 coffee shops, bookstores, and farmers markets. 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.
