02/14/2007

(Rochester, MN) - In order to be more accessible to constituents, Rep. Tim Walz will continue his "Saturday Store Stop" tour this Saturday with a stop in Rochester. On Saturday, February 17th, Rep. Walz will be at Hy-Vee's 6th Street location from 9-11am.

HyVee is located at:
1315 6th Street NW
Rochester, MN 55901

By positioning himself in local grocery stores during peak shopping hours, Walz hopes to hear from constituents who might not otherwise request a meeting or submit their opinion on policy topics.

"I hope that people will take a few minutes Saturday morning to stop by and express their thoughts and concerns. My staff and I will have voter registration forms available, as well as information on how we can assist constituents who are having difficulty with a branch of the federal government," said Walz.

Constituents can find Rep. Walz and his staff at a table near the front of the store.

Walz began his tour on Feb. 10th in Mankato and plans to continue it throughout the spring. Since being elected, Walz has conducted hundreds of meetings with individual constituents and representative organizations around southern Minnesota and in his Washington D.C. office. Constituents can also contact Congressman Walz through his website at http://www.house.gov/walz or by calling his Rochester office at 507-206-0643.
