Visiting Washington, DC

Our nation’s capitol is a wonderful place to visit for vacation or on business. I invite you to stop by my office and visit while you are here. I am always glad to meet with constituents when I can.

We are able to help you reserve tours to the White House, the U.S. Capitol, the Library of Congress, the Kennedy Center, the Supreme Court, and the Bureau of Engraving and Printing.

These tours are an excellent way to see all that the nation's capital has to offer and all of these tours are of no charge to you. All tickets are provided to residents of the 1st Congressional District of Louisiana on a first-come, first-served basis. Due to the large number of visitors, please request them as early as possible in order to maximize your chances.

If you have any questions regarding any tours, you may contact Joe Uddo in my D.C. office at (202) 225-3015.

Capitol Tours
The newly opened U.S. Capitol Visitors Center provides one of the most compelling tours of this magnificent building. Please contact my office to schedule your tour.

White House Tour Information
All White House tour requests must now adhere to the following security parameters set down by the U.S. Secret Service.

All tour groups should contact their Congressional Office at least 4-6 months in advance of the date on which they wish to tour the White House. White House tours can be submitted up to 6 months in advance. It is important to note that tours are allotted by the White House on a first come basis. You should contact our office as early as possible to request a tour. Please be aware that there are a very limited amount of tours granted and the likelihood of receiving a tour decreases significantly the closer your request is to the tour date.

Please have an exact head count when submitting a White House tour request to your Congressional Office.

All White House tours are conducted between Tuesday through Thursday: 7:30 am to 11:00 am; Friday: 7:30 am to 12:00 pm; Saturday: 7:30 am to 1:00 pm.

All persons are subject to background check conducted by the U.S. Secret Service and will have to submit the following information to the Tour Coordinator of the Congressman's Office within 10 days of receiving notification that the tour request is honored and set.
