Description

The Brookings Area Chamber of Commerce Public Affairs Committee will hold two Legislative Coffee events during the 2025 Legislative Session, both sponsored by Brookings Economic Development Corporation, Vision Brookings and Kool Beans Coffee. 

The purpose of these events is to allow area residents an opportunity to become better informed about the 2025 legislative session and our legislator's position on current issues and bills. These events are free and open to the public. 

Logistics for the two coffees are as follows: 

• Saturday, February 1: District 7 Legislative Coffee followed immediately by a forum on the City Charter
• Saturday, February 22: District 7 & 8 Legislative Coffee 

Both events will begin at 9:00 AM at the City-County Government Center (530 3rd Street, Brookings), third floor Chambers. 

District 7 Legislators include Rep. Mellissa Heermann (R), Rep. Roger DeGroot (R) and Sen. Tim Reed (R). District 8 Legislators include Senate Majority Leader Sen. Casey Crabtree (R), Rep. Tim Reisch (R), and Rep. Tim Reisch (R).  

Area residents are encouraged to participate. If you have questions for legislators, email them to info@brookingschamber.org. Please contact the Brookings Area Chamber of Commerce at (605) 692-8922 with any questions related to the event.
