As part of his County Connection Program, District 9 U.S. Rep. Tom Graves will have representatives in Forsyth County twice this winter.

Members of Graves’ staff will be at the Forsyth County Administration Building from 1 to 3 p.m. Jan. 17 and March 13.

Graves, a Republican from Ranger, started the initiative last year. It offers a link between Congress and constituents who are unable to visit his offices in Dalton or Gainesville.

Residents are welcome to ask questions or voice concerns about federal programs and policy issues.
