Please note that the rules of the House of Representatives and the laws and regulations governing federal executive agencies do closely limit interventions on behalf of constituents – my office cannot force an agency to expedite your case or act in your favor. My staff is also unable to offer legal advice or recommend an attorney, and we are not allowed to intercede in or try to influence the outcome of cases that are under the jurisdiction of a court. Finally, my office cannot intervene in matters under the jurisdiction of local or state governments.
However, we frequently can facilitate the appropriate administrative processes in the federal government, encourage an agency to give your case consideration or at times advocate for a favorable outcome. Although we cannot guarantee a particular outcome, my staff and I will do our best to help you receive a fair and timely response regarding your issue.

With millions of Americans fighting hard to keep a roof over their heads, housing assistance is more important than ever. My staff can help you access more resources to make sure you can win that fight.
Whether you are a U.S. citizen preparing to travel overseas or a non-citizen hoping to officially adopt this country as your homeland, you do not want to let the federal bureaucracy derail your plans. To make things easier for you, we have put together some information to help you get your passport, attain citizenship or deal with similar matters. If you do not feel you are getting the help you need in dealing with the Department of State’s Passport Office or the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, we may be able to help you address the issue.
Small businesses are the engine of our economy, and I am working hard to help them create new jobs and get our economy back on track.

A college education is more expensive – and more important – than ever before. There are many options available to help meet the cost, and you can learn more about the process of locating and applying for financial aid here.
Social Security and Medicare Benefits
Receiving Social Security and Medicare benefits should not be a hassle, and we have prepared this guide to answer some of your questions about receiving Social Security or Medicare Benefits. If you are encountering problems or are not getting benefits that you feel you should, we can help you work with the federal government to address the issue.
No one wants to pay more in taxes than they have to, and we are happy to assist you with any matters involving your taxes. You can also find useful information on the Internal Revenue Service’s website, and we have put together answers to frequently asked questions about the IRS.
Many of our constituents deal with the Veterans’ Affairs Department on a daily basis. If you served on active or reserve duty in the Army, Navy, Air Forces, Marines, Coast Guard, Merchant Marine or National Guard, we can assist you with problems that may arise with your Veterans’ Compensation or other benefits.
If you do not see your issue here, please contact me and my staff will let you know if we can assist you. You should also check out our Frequently Asked Questions page to see if your question is answered there.
