Officials from the cities of Claremont, La Verne, Upland, Rancho Cucamonga and San Dimas gathered at the Old School House complex Friday morning to welcome Assemblyman Chris Holden and representatives to his new permanent office at 415 W. Foothill Blvd., Suite 124.

This is the second office for the assemblyman of the 41^st district. With his first office established in Pasadena, the legislator made the choice for a second location in Claremont in order to be more readily available and transparent to the district’s easternmost portion, he shared.

The office is open for business Tuesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Field representatives Matt Lyons and Lizette Henderson will be on hand to provide constituents with state services such as help with the Department of Motor Vehicles, veteran’s benefits, professional licensing, unemployment and disability insurance, Medi-Cal and Covered California. They can be reached at (909) 624-7876.
