Montana western district U.S. Rep. Ryan Zinke announced this week that his office will host in-person office hours in rural areas of the state’s first congressional district.

Zinke has two Montana offices, one in Kalispell and another in Missoula, where constituents can meet with congressional staffers.

But with an expansive district that takes more than seven hours to drive end-to-end, distance can be prohibitive for individuals who seek a face-to-face meeting for government-related issues.

Between Sept. 30 and Oct. 10, staffers with the Republican’s office will host mobile office hours in 15 locations around the district.

Mobile office hours are open to Montanans needing assistance from Zinke’s staff on federally-related issues such as disputes with a federal agency, grant applications, and permitting, according to a press release from his office. Zinke’s staff may also be able to assist constituents with issues related to obtaining or expediting passports and visas, veterans’ affairs, Medicare and Medicaid benefits, Social Security, the IRS and other Federal agencies.

Constituents are encouraged to schedule an appointment by email. Those without appointments will be seen on a first-come-first-served basis.

The scheduled mobile office hours and staff contact are listed alphabetically by county below:
