RYAN LAUNCHES FIRST DISTRICT MOBILE OFFICE: TOURING 20 COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT SOUTHERN WISCONSIN

JANESVILLE, WI - Congressman Paul Ryan today announced the schedule for a mobile office tour of Wisconsin's First District that will take place during the Easter recess from Tuesday, April 6 through Saturday, April 10. Ryan will be making stops at 20 communities throughout the district to meet with area constituents and kick-off the new First District Mobile Office.

Following the tour, the First District Mobile Office will become a permanent fixture in the district and will serve as an extension of the existing Constituent Services Centers that Ryan established earlier in the year. The mobile office will be utilized to provide additional resources to local residents and work to serve communities without permanent Congressional offices.

"This tour provides me the opportunity to meet personally with as many First District residents as possible," said Ryan. "Our goal is to be fully accessible and responsive to the needs of constituents throughout Southern Wisconsin. The First District Mobile Office will serve to compliment those services already being provided at our permanent Constituent Services Centers."

"I serve the people of this district and it is my goal to make it as convenient as possible for them to contact me. Whether to offer their opinion on a particular piece of legislation or to seek assistance with a federal agency, I encourage all area residents to join us at one of the many stops we will be making throughout the district."

A complete schedule of the tour is attached. For additional information, or to schedule an appointment during the mobile office tour, please contact Diana Dykstra at (608) 752-4050.
