Traveling to our Nation's Capital can be an exciting and important learning experience, particularly for children. However, it can also be overwhelming given the tremendous number of sights that Washington has to offer.

I want to make sure that my constituents make the most out of their visit. For that reason, one of my privileges as a Member of Congress is to provide constituents with Congressional tickets to various sites in Washington.

Tickets that I can obtain for my constituents include: the White House, the U.S. Capitol, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the Supreme Court, the Library of Congress, the State Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Kennedy Center.

All of these tickets are offered to you at no charge. However, tickets are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Due to a large number of visitors from the Second District of Missouri, tickets are often reserved up to six months in advance. Therefore, make sure to submit your request in advance to maximize the chance of obtaining the tickets that you desire.
