For Congresswoman Cheri Bustos, it has always begun with listening.
That’s why on just about any given Saturday, you can find her walking the aisles of one of the many grocery stores across the 17th Congressional District, in what she calls “Supermarket Saturdays.” From cities like Moline, Rockford and Peoria, to smaller communities like Canton, Kewanee and Galena, she walks the aisles to ask folks what’s on their minds, what they want her to know, what they want her to fight for or fight against. And she wants to know about them personally:
Your Watchdog in Washington
When I worked as an investigative journalist in the Quad-Cities, I took my watchdog role for the families we served very seriously. That’s the same approach I take to the work that I do every day in Congress.
That’s why I’ve established a watchdog task force in my office to root out problems in the community, get to the bottom of them and develop solutions for our families. It’s also why I’ve made it a top priority to provide the highest quality constituent services possible for individuals and families in our community.
If you need assistance with an issue or think there’s a problem in your community that’s not being addressed, I strongly urge you to contact my office by clicking here.
