LAKEWOOD, Colo.—Colorado congressman Ed Perlmutter has postponed his first open meetings of the year with constituents in a supermarket.
Perlmutter’s office says the suburban Denver Democrat can’t make the meeting scheduled for Saturday in Lakewood because of a pending vote on the budget bill. He is rescheduling the session for Feb. 26.
The one-on-one meetings at a Safeway would have been his first “government in the grocery” gathering since the Tucson shootings. Perlmutter had suspended such meetings following the Jan. 8 shootings at a meeting hosted by U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords at a Safeway store.
Perlmutter typically holds meet-and-greets twice a month at grocery stores in his district.
