Help with a Federal Agency

One of the most important things I can do as a U.S. Representative is help people with issues they’re having with federal agencies. Although I cannot override decisions made by a federal agency, I can often intervene on a person’s behalf to answer questions, find solutions, or just cut through the red tape. 

If you are in need of immediate assistance, or if you would like to schedule an in-person appointment with a staff member, you can call my District Office closest to you.
