BAYTOWN, TX – U.S. Rep. Gene Green (D-Texas) has requested placement of a Social Security office in Baytown after hearing from constituents who attended his town hall meetings this month.

In a letter to the Social Security commissioner dated January 16, Green said the nearest Social Security office, located in Pasadena, is overburdened and the region’s growing population required a new facility. Green also pointed out in the letter that many Texas Social Security offices are located in cities smaller than Baytown.

“This is why we have town hall meetings around the district several times a year,” Green said. “The best projects our office undertakes come straight from community suggestions.”
