Washington, January 24, 2014 -

Today, U.S. Rep. Tom Graves (R-GA-14) announced the 2014 schedule for the 14th Congressional District’s County Connection program. Under the program, members of Rep. Graves’ official staff hold office hours in counties across the district so that constituents who live further away from the Dalton or Rome offices have a convenient option for an in-person meeting.

“My staff and I are committed to serving every community in the 14^th District, and we invite Georgians to utilize the County Connection program as a way to save time and gas money to meet with us,” said Rep. Graves. “Sometimes it takes an in-person meeting rather than a phone call or email to resolve casework or discuss a policy concern. My constituent service representatives are trained to assist constituents with any federal issue, whether you need urgent help with a passport or you’ve been struggling with the Veterans Affairs Department for years.”

On County Connection days, Rep. Graves’ constituent service representatives will be available to take both scheduled and walk-in meetings and are trained to help constituents on federal issues, particularly matters involving casework with federal agencies. Constituents often seek assistance with Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, immigration and passports, veterans’ benefits and military service academies, among other issues.

Constituents can always seek assistance from the Rome or Dalton District Offices, which are open Monday through Friday. Click here for 14^th Congressional District office contact information.
