In an effort to better reach a large swath of the expansive 33rd Assembly District, staff members for Assemblyman Jay Obernolte, R-Hesperia, will be holding mobile district office hours moving forward, Obernolte’s office said.

The hours will extend to eight areas within the district, not including Hesperia, where Obernolte’s main district office already is located. “My district is one of the largest geographic Assembly districts in the state of California,” Obernolte said in a statement. “However, being an effective representative means it is critical for my staff to be available to constituents where they live.”

Every first Tuesday of even numbered months, staff will be at the Lucerne Valley Senior Center from 2 to 5 p.m. Every third Wednesday of even numbered months, staff will be at the Apple Valley Chamber of Commerce from 1:30 to 4 p.m.

Every third Monday of even numbered months, staff will be at Barstow City Hall from 3 to 5 p.m. Every fourth Monday of even numbered months, staff will be at Big Bear Lake Civic Center from 2:30 to 5 p.m.

Every first Tuesday of odd numbered months, staff will be at Victorville City Hall from 2:30 to 5 p.m. Every first Thursday of odd numbered months, staff will be at Lake Arrowhead Chamber from 2 to 4 p.m.

Every second Tuesday of odd numbered months, staff will be at Needles City Hall from 2 to 4:30 p.m. Every third Wednesday of odd numbered months, staff will be at the Adelanto Governmental Center from 4 to 6 p.m.

The mobile office hours went into effect April 7. District Director Ross Sevy said Monday that the locations could expand “if there is a desire from the community, but we thought this was a good starting point.”
