Thank you for writing to me for assistance. I’ve been honored to represent the East Bay in Congress for the last 40 years. However, as you may know, I was not re-elected. My office will be closing on November 30th. Therefore, I will be unable to respond to your inquiry.

The 13th Congressional District will be divided among Rep. Mike Honda, Rep. Barbara Lee, and Congressman-elect Eric Swalwell. You should ascertain in which district you now reside in and reach out to the appropriate office based on that information. Please visit: http://www.acgov.org/ms/addresslookup/ to verify your new district.

For casework concerns that may arise before the 113th Congress convenes on January 3, 2013, please contact Senator Dianne Feinstein at (415) 393-0707 (http://www.feinstein.senate.gov) or Senator Barbara Boxer at (510)-286-8537 (http://www.boxer.senate.gov). Senator Feinstein’s and Boxer’s offices are ready to assist.

Thank you for your understanding and patience during this transitional time.
