AN “EVENING WITH IKE”
CONGRESSMAN IKE SKELTON WILL HOLD A FOURTH DISTRICT DISCUSSION ON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 15
 

            WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Ike Skelton (D-MO) announced that he will hold an “Evening With Ike” event for residents of Missouri’s Fourth Congressional District on Thursday, October 15, 2009, at 6:00 pm CDT to continue his on-going discussion with Fourth District residents about the issues they are discussing and challenges they are facing in rural Missouri.

            The discussion will take place through a 60 minute large-scale conference call. This format will allow for large numbers of Fourth District residents to listen to the discussion and to ask questions of Congressman Skelton.
 
“Since coming to Congress, I have worked hard at staying in touch with the people I represent. I am home frequently and have traveled extensively throughout the Fourth District this year. In August, I made 33 public appearances in 14 counties during which I gained first-hand information about a variety of federal issues that are important to rural Missourians.
 
“I look forward to my conversation with Fourth District residents. The advice I get from them always serves me well,” said Skelton.
