Congressman Messmer Holds Constituent Service Meeting in Perry County Today

Congressman Mark Messmer’s office is conducting a series of Constituent Casework Service Meetings across Indiana’s 8th Congressional District in 2026, with a local session taking place today in Perry County. The meeting is scheduled for 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm Central Standard Time at the Perry County Government Office, Commissioners Office, 2219 Payne Street, Tell City, IN 47586.

These staff-led meetings provide residents the opportunity for one-on-one discussions about individual casework and assistance navigating federal agencies, including the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Social Security Administration, the Internal Revenue Service, and others. For many Perry County residents who rely on federal benefits or face paperwork and claims backlogs, the sessions are a direct avenue for filing inquiries, checking the status of claims, and seeking staff support to resolve administrative hurdles.

The meetings are part of a districtwide outreach effort that will visit multiple county locations across the 8th District during 2026. While this series aims to make federal casework assistance more accessible in smaller communities, the format also serves as a regular point of contact between constituents and congressional staff, allowing local residents to bring specific problems to federal agencies’ attention through their representative’s office.

For residents who need more information or who want the full schedule of upcoming locations and dates across the district, contact Congressman Messmer’s office at (812) 465-6484. Staff can provide details on what documentation to bring and how the office can assist with common issues such as veterans’ claims, Social Security matters, tax questions, and other agency interactions.

Making federal services more navigable at the local level has practical implications for households that depend on timely benefits and accurate agency decisions. These meetings also offer a measure of government accountability and transparency by creating a record of constituent inquiries and a pathway for follow-up. For Perry County residents with pending federal issues, today’s session provides an immediate option to seek assistance without traveling to larger regional offices.
