Welcome to my new Website
As you can see, my website has undergone a major facelift. My
new site should be easier for you to navigate, and I hope you enjoy
new interactive features, including Facebook, Twitter and Steve's
Blog on what's happening in Washington, the district and the
world. When I arrived in Washington in 1995, most
congressional offices didn't use the Internet much, and web sites
and e-mail seemed like a plot from a science fiction novel. We
received almost all information by fax or in stacks of paper
hand-delivered to the office, including bills that were thousands
of pages long. It is hard to remember the world when
gathering information was such a chore. Now, anything under
the sun is just a click away.
With the Internet, anyone can read a newspaper, watch a newscast
or congressional hearing from anywhere in the world, and watch live
as your representatives and senators cast votes on
legislation. In addition, you now have access to legislation
and laws online and can search by keyword, so if you're interested
in Medicare provisions in the new health care law you can find them
with ease rather than reading more than 2,000 pages. We no longer
wait to get our news from the morning paper or evening network
news, and news and information is available around the clock.
Sometimes it's hard to keep up with all the technological advances,
and I hope the new design of my website makes it easier for you to
access information and seek help for my office. Please let me
know if you have suggestions or concerns. It's an honor to
represent you.
