If you are planning a visit to our nation's capital, my office can provide helpful information about the city and the wealth of monuments, museums and landmarks to see. Passes to the House and Senate galleries to observe debate on the floor of Congress can be obtained from my Washington office at 2335 Rayburn Building.

We can also provide Capitol tours for groups of 15 or less. For larger groups, tours will be scheduled with the Capitol Guide Service.

Due to heightened security, tours of the White House are closed to individuals. However, tours are available for school groups and can be arranged through our office. Due to the high demand for these tours and the limited quantities of tickets provided by the White House, we ask that you make requests for this tour as far in advance as possible, especially at peak travel times.

Please contact our tour coordinator in the Washington office directly at (202) 225-1688 or through either of our district offices.
