I encourage you to visit Capitol Hill during your trip to Washington, DC and invite you to stop by my office while you are here. My office is located in the Russell Senate Office Building, Room 290. The closest entrance is located on First Street and Constitution Avenue, Northeast.

I encourage you to experience our legislative body in action by visiting the Senate and House galleries. Passes are available for the Senate gallery when the Senate is in session. To obtain Senate gallery passes, please stop by my office. House gallery passes are available with any House member, although I have a limited supply available in my office. If your group requires more than ten passes, please contact my office in advance.

Public tours of the United States Capitol are available Monday thru Saturday, 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Timed tour tickets are distributed each day, first-come first-serve, at 9 AM. During the peak tourism season, please be in line no later than 8:30 AM. The public tour line assembles next to the Garfield traffic circle on the southwest corner of the Capitol complex near the corner of Independence Avenue and First Street, Southwest.

Staff-led tours of the Capitol are available for South Carolinians through my office, Monday through Friday. For security reasons, staff-led tours are for groups of fifteen or less. Please make all staff-led tour requests at least one to two weeks in advance by contacting my office at (202)224-5972.

For groups larger than fifteen people, tours can be scheduled with the Capitol Guide Service by contacting my office. Guided group tours are offered Monday through Friday. Please make all group requests six to eight weeks in advance. Due to limited availability, please understand that I cannot guarantee that all Capitol tour requests can be fulfilled.
