This research uses an intrinsic case study approach with the object of research on legislative members in the Grobogan Regency. The socio-political responsibilities of the parliamentarians will be studied based on the triple C approach; they are Community Relations, Community Empowerment, and Community Service. Community relations aim to foster a harmonious relationship between organizations (politicians) and the community to increase social awareness and mutual understanding. Community Empowerment is an effort to develop community potential and overcome existing societal problems. The involvement of council members in community empowerment is implemented in three stages: good community relations, community empowerment in the form of community advocacy, and creating an institution that educates the community and community service by prioritizing comprehensive services.
