The public meetings will take place in Garfield, Starbuck and Sauk Centre.

“An elected official must always be in touch with their constituents,” Westrom said. “Throughout the years I have always prided myself on having a constant dialogue with the people I am privileged to serve. I look forward to discussing the important issues facing our area and listening to your concerns at our town hall events.”
