Constituent Services
Serving the Ohioans of the 4th District effectively is my goal, both through my work in Congress and through various types of personal assistance, such as Washington, DC tours, help in dealing with government agencies, internships and academy nominations. I and my staff are here to serve you, and hope you will let us know how we can help. Below is some information to get you started.
