Senator Franken to hold listening tours

Senator Franken's staff will be touring the state with a listening tour as Senator Franken is in Washington, as the Senate is in session.

Those who are concerned about issues affecting greater Minnesota--whether health care reform, dairy policy, the wind industry, broadband, climate policy, or other matters--should stop by the closest meeting and share their concern with Senator Franken's staff. Remember, civic engagement is a fundamental piece of a healthy democracy, and constituent service is an important part of a Senate office.

Senator Al Franken’s staff is bringing his office to you.
