Assemblymember Didi Barrett is Bringing Her District Office to a Diner Near You!

To maintain a constant and open line of communication with folks across her widespread Hudson Valley district, Assemblymember Didi Barrett (D-Hudson) is bringing her office to a diner near you in her third annual mobile district office “Diner Stop Tour.”

“From day one, my priority has been open communication with the hard-working people of my district to make sure their concerns are heard and that they have a voice in Albany,” said Assemblymember Barrett. “Not everyone can get to our Albany or district offices and with our Diner Stop Tour, I go directly to my constituents while at the same time showcasing a great local business.”

The first stop of the 2014 Diner Stop Tour will take place on Friday, Jan. 24, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., at the Eveready Diner in Hyde Park, located at 4184 Albany Post Road.

“I am a huge diner fan and we are so fortunate in the Hudson Valley to have many wonderful iconic diners. Our Diner Stop Tour provides the perfect setting to chat over a mug of coffee and hear first-hand what really matters to our families, seniors and communities,” Assemblymember Barrett said. “In past years we have talked with local officials, families, farmers and small-business owners on a huge range of topics from signage on busy local roads to helping a small family farmer to access state resources. I really look forward to our 2014 tour.”
