Committed to facilitating an open dialogue with constituents and at the same time showcasing great local businesses, Assemblymember Didi Barrett (D-Columbia, Dutchess) is again bringing her office to local diners as part of her annual “Diner Stop Tour.”

“Working with, listening to and being accessible in our community is the best way to be an effective advocate and what could be more comfortable than catching up in one of our many Hudson Valley diners,” Assemblymember Barrett said. “I welcome members of the community to join in the discussion over a cup of coffee or tea and talk to us about what really matters to them.”
