(DODGE CITY, KAN.) – Kansas First District Congressman Tim Huelskamp announced the first set of town hall meetings he will host in 2012. As he did in 2011, Congressman Huelskamp is “Continuing the Tradition” of our prior representatives by visiting each of the District’s 69 counties every year.

“When there is work to be done in Washington, there is nothing more important than hearing from the men and women who sent me to our nation’s capital,” Congressman Huelskamp said. “During my first year in Congress, I heard from Kansans in each county about the importance of fighting for hardworking taxpayers, tackling the massive national debt, targeting overregulation out of Washington, and restoring the role of the family in our society.

I hope this year Kansans will continue to attend these town hall meetings in order to express their views and opinions about the issues facing our nation.” The schedule is as follows:
