Visiting Washington, D.C.

capitol Welcome my friends from home! While Washington is far different from Texas, I think you will find it a wonderful place to visit. To make your stay as enjoyable as possible, I've included the following tour information about places of interest here in our nation's capital.

Like our Texas office, our office at 201 Cannon is designed to serve you. Please come by to visit and obtain House and Senate gallery passes. I listen to our neighbors from home in establishing priorities and in evaluating my positions on issues being considered in Congress. For additional information, please call (512) 916-5921 in Texas or (202) 225-4865 in Washington.

Enjoy your visit!

U.S. Capitol Building: Free public tours of the Capitol Building are offered every Monday through Saturday. Advance tickets for a specific date and time can be requested through my Washington D.C. office. Same-day tickets are also available to the public at the Capitol Visitor's Center on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 9:00am. For these tickets, I recommend that you arrive as early as possible and please be prepared to show photo ID. On days when the House is in session, please stop by my office, where you can obtain gallery passes that will allow you to view the action on the House floor.

White House Tours: The White House is open for public tours on a very limited basis. White House tours can be requested from my Washington office up to six months in advance and no later than 30 days before the requested tour date (This is a White House rule). Tours of the White House are scheduled through the White House Visitor's Office computer system on a first-come, first-served basis. Therefore, the sooner you make a request the sooner I can ensure the White House receives it.
