Constituent CaseworkDealing with federal agencies can sometimes be frustrating and time consuming. In these cases, my constituent liaison staff can "cut the red tape" and help advocate and expedite an appropriate, and hopefully positive, resolution. Please be advised that there are certain things that my office cannot help you with. I cannot help you with non-federal issues such as renewal of Notary Public Licenses, problems with Driver's Licenses or your property tax rebate. I am also prohibited by law from recommending you for a job or a promotion. If you would like more information on how I may assist you, please contact my staff at the regional office closest to you. You may call my Newark office toll free at 1-888-398-1642 or call my Camden office at (856) 338-8922.

Honor Hard Work with a Higher Minimum Wage The federal government is supposed to work for the people of the United States. Unfortunately, the Republican-dominated 109th Congress has failed to address some of the most urgent needs of the American people. There is no energy policy to reduce our dependence on oil. There have been no measures to curb the soaring cost of health care. And this month Congress adjourned for August recess without approving a long-overdue pay raise for the millions of Americans who work for minimum wage. |
