District Offices

If you wish to reach me through postal mail, it is best to send your letter to one of my district offices, as mail to my Washington, D.C. office is still delayed due to biological/radiological testing.

Furthermore, as your Representative, I believe that I have an obligation to make myself and my staff available to the people. In order to do this, I am conducting open office hours in each of the 30 counties that make up the 19th District.

Also, in an effort to bring the federal government closer to the people, I have instituted my "traveling help desk" program—which a member of my staff visits your hometown and helps you solve your problems with the federal government.

Finally, it's important for you to know when I will be meeting in your community. I try to be back home every weekend, and I want to invite you to stop by and share your thoughts and concerns with me.
