Visiting Washington D.C.

Welcome to Washington, DC! I am happy to assist you during your visit to our nation’s capital. I can attempt to arrange Congressional tours of the White House (although they are hard to obtain), the Capitol, the Library of Congress and the Bureau of Printing and Engraving. Also, for your convenience, I have compiled a list of popular monuments and museums in the area including locations and hours of operation.

I invite you to visit my office in room 1110 of the Longworth House Office Building. My staff and I always welcome the opportunity to meet constituents. I sincerely hope you will enjoy your visit. If you have any questions, or if there is anything else I can do, feel free to contact my Washington office at (202)-225-3601.
