U.S. Rep. Mike Simpson and U.S. Sens. Mike Crapo and Jim Risch, all Idaho Republicans, are hosting senior center outreach opportunities throughout September and October across the state.

District staff from their offices will travel throughout Idaho to meet with constituents at senior centers to answer questions and address their concerns, according to a press release from Simpson’s office.

“Senior center outreach is a wonderful opportunity to expand accessibility to seniors across the state,” Simpson said in the press release. “Not all of my constituents can leave their homes and connect with staff from my district offices, which is why Senators Crapo and Risch and I are bringing these services directly to them.”

Risch said these events will help Idahoans access the resources they need.

“My staff is here to help answer questions and navigate challenges involving the federal government,” he said in the press release. “The Idaho delegation’s Senior Center Outreach Days presents a great opportunity to visit with my staff in person about issues you face.”
