Requesting Tour Passes

Please note that requests should be made at least three to six months before your trip.


Visting the White House

My office is happy to assist constituents in scheduling individual or group tours of the White House. If you are interested in touring the White House, please schedule it through my office six months in advance of your visit. Because tours are scheduled on a first come, first served basis, requests with short notice will be difficult to accommodate, considering the high volume of requests. I strongly urge you to submit your tour requests as early as possible.

White House tours scheduled through the Congressional offices are available Tuesday through Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. White House tours are subject to last-minute cancellation.
