Grassley visits Smithco

GRASSLEY MAKES 98TH STOP IN LE MARS

Tuesday marked the end of U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley’s latest 99 county tour – the “Full Grassley” as it is known.   His 98th stop was at Smithco, just outside of Le Mars. He described the main issues that have been discussed at his town hall meetings this year.

Grassley held a question and answer session with Smithco employees, and met with management.  Sen Grassley says Smithco struggles to find enough employees for their operation.

Later, Grassley was asked if he was following the Democratic National Convention this week…

Grassley completed another cycle of visits with his 99th county meeting Tuesday afternoon at Novelty Machine and Supply Company in Sioux City.  He had earlier stops Tuesday in Rock Rapids and Sioux Center.

Grassley began his annual 99 county meetings in 1981 after he was elected to his first term in the U.S. Senate.
