Welcome Message

Dear Friends:

Welcome to the official website of California's Second Congressional District!

I am honored to represent the people of Northern California in the U.S. House of Representatives. As I do so, I am constantly striving to improve the means by which you can communicate your views and concerns to me, and I, in turn, can keep you apprised of legislation and other developments in Washington and in our congressional district.

The Internet has fast become a popular, convenient and efficient way for people to communicate with one another, and to obtain useful information. For this reason, I intend to keep this website as up to date as possible with the latest news about activities in Congress and other issues, and to improve it as technology affords us the opportunity. I hope you find it to be helpful and informative.

To help you stay informed on the federal issues most important to you, I would invite you to sign up to receive my periodic "e-updates." Additionally, you can use to this website to e-mail me with your questions, concerns, and viewpoints.

One of my highest priorities has always been providing first-rate services to the Northern California constituents I represent -- including casework matters, helping schedule tours in our nation's capital and having flags flown over the Capitol. Accordingly, our website provides the background information and contacts you need to get started.

Again, thank you for the privilege of representing you in Congress. I look forward to hearing from you, whether by contacting one of our offices in Washington, DC, Chico or Redding, or by e-mailing me from this website. I greatly appreciate your visiting our site, and I hope you return often!

Sincerely,
