Washington, D.C. – Today, Colorado U.S. Senator Michael Bennet announced his Fort Collins staff will be holding weekly telephone office hours this fall. Bennet and his team are committed to answering Coloradans’ questions, listening to their concerns, and helping them navigate federal agencies – including the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Social Security Administration (SSA), and more.
“There’s no greater responsibility as Colorado’s senator than being responsive to the needs of Coloradans across our state. I’m pleased to announce that—even in these challenging and virtual times—our office is holding telephone listening sessions this fall in every region of Colorado,” said Bennet. “If you’re having issues navigating a federal agency or receiving benefits, or have any questions, comments, or concerns, I encourage you to schedule time to talk with our team.”
From Wednesday, September 30 through Wednesday, October 14, James Thompson, Bennet’s Regional Director in Fort Collins, will hold telephone office hours for Coloradans on Wednesday afternoons. Details are available below.
