Constituent Services
As your Congressman, I am committed to listening to your viewpoints and working together to find solutions for the problems that face our communities, state and nation. That's why I am dedicated to being as accessible and available to listen to you as much as possible.
Traveling Office Hours:
To better serve the people of central and eastern Kentucky, my staff conducts traveling office hours in every county of the Sixth Congressional District each month. This is a responsible, inexpensive way for constituents to voice their opinion on legislative issues or seek assistance with federal agencies. During these office hours, my staff will be available to provide assistance to constituents on a variety of services and issues, including Medicare, Veterans Affairs, Social Security, Internal Revenue Service issues, and matters regarding federal legislation.
"Meet Your Congressman" Events:
I have held several "Meet your Congressman" events across the Sixth District since being sworn into office. These events are casual, come-and-go opportunities for constituents where I am able to visit with folks in a more informal and direct setting than the typical town hall. I encourage people to stop by these events to share their thoughts on legislation, to get help with federal agencies, or to just chat.
The Sixth District Report Enewsletter:
Each Sunday, I send out my e-newsletter called the "Sixth District Report." It contains short the most recent happenings in my office and from around the district, and is a great way for constituents to stay up-to-date on a range of information on issues and events. I will also occasionally ask for your feedback on what matters most to you or remind you about an upcoming event in your area.
Social Media:
I am very active on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube and encourage you to engage with me there. By joining my online community, you’ll be among the first to receive updates on issues that impact the Sixth District and learn about events I am hosting in your neighborhood.

America’s freedom is only possible because of the sacrifice and bravery of our veterans and servicemen and women. However, recent reports of gross mismanagement and falsified data records at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), coupled with an utter lack of accountability at the agency, denies our heroes the care they have more than earned.
This is unconscionable and completely unacceptable.
