Rep. Lipinski Lockport Town Hall Meeting

U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski (IL-3) will host two Town Hall Meetings – in Lockport and Orland Park – and three Senior Fairs – in Lemont, Orland Hills and Mount Greenwood – in February.

At the Town Hall Meetings, Third District residents will be able to hear from Rep. Lipinski about his work on their behalf at home and in Washington, as well as ask questions and give their thoughts on federal issues. Staff from the congressman’s office will be available beginning one hour prior to the start of the meeting to provide assistance with Medicare, Social Security, veterans’ benefits, and other federal matters. The Senior Fairs will give seniors in the district a chance to get assistance with a variety of issues from Rep. Lipinski’s staff as well as local organizations, agencies, and businesses that provide services to seniors.

"I want to personally extend an invitation to the residents of the 3rd Congressional District to my upcoming Town Hall Meetings and Senior Fairs. As your representative in Washington and someone who strives to improve the quality of life in the communities I serve, it is critical that I hear from you," Rep. Lipinski said. "These events will be fantastic opportunities for you to get help on federal programs and to hear about the wide array of constituent services my office provides. It is my privilege to serve you. I am eager to offer my assistance and hear your ideas."
