The staff of U.S. Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio, will hold office hours on the fifth floor of the county administration building in Painesville from 11 a.m. to noon April 26.

During this time, constituents will have the opportunity to share their thoughts and concerns with a district representative who will provide their feedback to the senator. No appointments are needed.

“Keeping an open dialogue with constituents is a top priority for me and I encourage people to take advantage of the opportunity to talk to a member of my staff,” Portman said in a statement. “Over the past two years, I’ve traveled to every county in the state and have found it helpful to hear about the issues that are of concern to Ohioans. Listening to constituents enables me to better determine how I can fight for their interests in Washington.”

Portman staff will travel to each county in Ohio to meet with constituents during office hours, connect with local elected officials and attend community events.
