Help with a Federal Agency
One of the most important jobs I have is helping my constituents when they are having problems with Federal agencies. Here are a few quick questions to help you determine if I can assist you in your case:
Do you reside in Nevada's First Congressional District?
Congressional courtesy, ethics rules and propriety dictate that each Member of Congress has the honor and responsibility to serve his or her own constituents. If you live outside the district, use Write Your Representative to contact your Congressional representative.
Does the assistance you seek involve a Federal agency?
As a Federal representative, I am able to make inquiries of Federal agencies. If your case involves state, county, or local government, your public school district or other public agencies, click here for information on your elected representative.
Does the issue you seek to resolve involve you?
Due to privacy laws, I must have the written consent of my constituent in order to make an official inquiry. If you are trying to assist a family member or friend, please contact my office and outline the situation so that we can determine whether we may be of assistance. My office can then contact the constituent directly to obtain their written consent.
Is your case within the agency’s normal processing time?
It is rare that a case can be “sped up” for any reason other than extreme hardship. If you believe your situation merits faster processing, please contact my office and my staff will discuss your situation and help you determine the proper strategy.
After reviewing these questions and determining that your case is something I can assist you with, please feel free to contact my office. If I can assist you, you must complete a privacy release so that my office can initiate an agency inquiry on your behalf. To obtain a privacy release you can enter the information below or contact my office by telephone, fax, US postal mail, email or in person.
