Congressman Travis W. Childers Announces Locations of District Offices

From a press release:

Congressman Travis W. Childers announced today that he plans to maintain four district offices in Mississippi's First Congressional District in DeSoto, Grenada, Lee, and Lowndes counties.

The Congressman announced that he plans to continue operations at offices in Columbus, Grenada, and Tupelo that were maintained by the Clerk of the House while the congressional seat lay vacant until Childers was elected in the May 13th special election. The DeSoto County office has been moved from Southaven to a facility on the Courthouse Square in Hernando.

"We are ready to roll up our sleeves and get to work for the people of North Mississippi," Congressman Childers said. "Since we were sworn in right in the middle of a session, we had to hit the ground running in Washington. There were some administrative processes that we had to work out for the district offices, such as negotiating new leases and transferring computer and phone services, which took a couple of weeks to finalize, but we managed to get the Tupelo and Columbus offices nailed down in a matter of days. We are getting the other offices up and running this week, and now, less than one month after being sworn in, we have office space and a good start on staff. We are focused on serving the people of North Mississippi."

The address and phone numbers for the district offices are:

Columbus: 523 Main Street, 662-327-0748;
Grenada: 1360 Sunset Drive, Suite 2, 662-294-1321;
Hernando: 2564 Hwy. 51 South on the Hernando Courthouse Square, (telephone number will be announced at a later date); and,
Tupelo: 6 Fairpark Crossing in Downtown Tupelo, 662-844-5437.

Constituents needing help with federal issues or services may also call the Congressman's Washington, DC office in 2350 Rayburn House Office Building at 202-225-4306 until the district offices are fully functional.
