McCaskill opens downtown Springfield office Saturday

McCaskill and Urban Districts Alliance will hold a ribbon-cutting at the 324 Park Central West, Ste. 101, office at 10 a.m. McCaskill and her local staff will then provide details on the services the office will provide.

Services there will include community outreach and case work, as well as assistance with Social Security, Medicaid, Medicare, veterans benefits, passports and other federal assistance-related topics, according to Adrianne Marsh, communications director for McCaskill.

The 800-square-foot office will be staffed full-time, five days per week by District Director David Rauch, interns and several volunteers, Marsh said.

McCaskill has offices in Kansas City, St. Louis and Columbia – in addition to her Washington, D.C., office – and plans to open one in Cape Girardeau soon.

Following the grand opening, McCaskill at noon will address members of the American Legion Post 369 at their 26th anniversary event at 2660 S. Scenic.

McCaskill was elected to the U.S. Senate in November, ousting incumbent Sen. Jim Talent.
