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

“The senior center outreach is a wonderful opportunity to expand accessibility for seniors across the state,” Simpson said in the release. “Not all of my constituents can leave their homes and engage with staff in 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 Idaho citizens access the resources they need.

“My staff is here to answer questions and address challenges related to the federal government,” he said in the release. “The Idaho Delegation Senior Center Outreach Days provide a great opportunity to meet my staff in person and talk about the issues you are facing.”
