U.S. Rep. Ron Kind (D-WI)  announced that representatives from his district office will be available at open office hours in Hillsboro from 10-11 a.m. Oct. 22 in the City Council chambers of City Hall, 123 Mechanic St.

The Hillsboro office hours kick off a drive that, over the next three weeks, will see representatives from Kind’s district offices being available at open office hours in all 18 counties in Wisconsin’s Third Congressional District.

“Our office is always working to be accessible and helpful to residents of central and western Wisconsin,” said Kind.  “I hope that people will take advantage of these open office hours to come share their thoughts and seek help to solve problems they may be having with a federal agency.”

Kind’s office can assist people who are having trouble dealing with the Social Security Administration, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Internal Revenue Service, Immigration and Naturalization Service, and other federal agencies.
