When you need help, my staff in California and Washington will do everything they can to help break through the bureaucracy regarding Social Security, Medicare, the Veterans Administration, the Passport Office, or other federal agencies.

We can help you look for federal grants for your community project or determine your eligibility for federal student aid for college. We can order a flag, secure tours in our nation's capital, and apply for nominations to our Service Academies. We are here to serve you. See below for some of the ways we can help.

Casework: My casework staff and I are ready to help you cut through “red tape” and secure the services and benefits our tax dollars pay for.

Washington, D.C. Tours: When you visit Washington, D.C., make sure to contact my office to arrange for tours of the U.S. Capitol and other points of interest.
