POTTSVILLE — Dan Meuser has established the new headquarters for his upcoming campaign for Congress in the city.

Meuser will operate out of the second floor at 100 N. Centre St. Meuser and his staff moved into the new location March 14. Official hours of operation will be established soon and announced on both Meuser’s website and the Dan Meuser for Congress Facebook page. Meuser is seeking the GOP nomination in the May 15 primary to run against the Democratic nominee, vying to represent the new 9th District.

“We want the people of Schuylkill County to be assured of our commitment to them and to the revitalization of areas like Pottsville, the place we have decided to open our first campaign office,” Meuser said in a press release.

The new 9th District is comprised of all of Carbon, Columbia, Lebanon, Montour and Schuylkill counties and parts of Northumberland, Luzerne and Berks counties. According to Meuser’s website, he will have additional campaign offices throughout the 9th District in addition to the Pottsville office.

“The new, court-drawn 9th District is vast and it’s important to us that we continue to reach out to voters across every single county,” Meuser said in the release. “We have been working hard for six months on this campaign in five of the counties that were in the old 11th Congressional District and are now in the new 9th District. We are going to work just as hard in these three new counties, Berks, Lebanon and Schuylkill, as we have in the other five counties. We are concentrating heavily on building out these grassroots networks in these new counties and have been humbled by the amount of support we have already received. We have met personally with thousands of voters and will continue to work hard to further build our tremendous grassroots support momentum in the weeks ahead.”
