Grassley gearing up for 99-county quest -- again

Why change now?

Charles Grassley plans on holding at least one meeting in each of Iowa's 99 counties next year.

The senator has done this annually for three decades.

Grassley begins his statewide tour a week from Friday in the northeastern part of the state. He makes stops in Nashua and Charles City.

Grassley has met with residents in all the state's counties each year since his election to the Senate in 1980. He calls representative government a two-way street that draws strength from discussions between officials and the people they represent.
