Topeka ? U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins, R-Topeka, will visit 25 communities, including Lawrence, in the 2nd Congressional District over the next three weeks during the congressional recess.

Her tour starts Wednesday at the Holiday Inn Holidome in Topeka.

She will be at the Dole Institute in Lawrence at 4 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 1.

Jenkins, a freshman legislator, said she wants to hear the concerns of people in the district and give updates on what is happening in Congress.

“Folks are concerned about the out-of-control spending, increasing debt and the rapid expansion of the federal government,” Jenkins said. “I share their concerns and look forward to listening to them and discussing ideas to turn our nation around,” she said.
