Michelle Hinchey speaks at a Guilderland Center event last month at the town’s first brewery, calling for the governor to sign a bill that would ease the way for new craft breweries.

State Senator Michelle Hinchey is hosting mobile office hours across the 46th Senate District during September, including these local ones:

— Thursday, Sept. 16, from 1 to 6 p.m., at Rensselaerville Town Hall, 87 Barger Road, Medusa; and

— Tuesday, Sept. 21, from 1 to 6 p.m., at Guilderland Town Hall, 5209 Western Turnpike, Guilderland. Hinchey’s hours at Guilderland are recurring, on the third Tuesday of every month.

“As your State Senator, I want to be a resource for everyone living in the 46th, but with a district spanning nearly 2,000 square miles, I know it may be difficult for some to travel to my office to receive the help they need ...,” said Hinchey in a statement, announcing the mobile hours. “Starting this month at libraries and town halls across our five counties, residents can meet one-on-one with my constituent-services team if they need assistance with a problem or to share their perspective on issues facing our district.”
