Guthrie will be in Owensboro today
U.S. Rep. Brett Guthrie will be in Owensboro today for a 1 p.m. “Listening Session” in the Daviess Fiscal Court room on the second floor of the Daviess County Courthouse.
The stop is one of 21 the Bowling Green Republican is making in the 2nd District this month.
Guthrie’s office said people can “ask questions or offer ideas on what Congress should be doing” during the meeting.
A constituent services representative will be available to assist with any specific questions people may have about a federal agency or service.
