How Can I Help?

As your representative in Congress, serving you is my biggest job. An important part of that is helping my constituents with their questions, concerns or problems with the federal government. My staff and I can work as a middle man to help navigate the often bulky and confusing bureaucracy of the federal government.

To serve our country, this Commonwealth, our men and women in uniform, and all those I have represented has been a high privilege. As you may know, the 114th Congress will be my last term and I will no longer represent the 4th Congressional District of Virginia.

My staff and I will continue to assist constituents as we can; however, we are limited as we move towards closing our offices.  Accordingly, we are not initiating any new inquiries with federal agencies as we would not be able to see them through to completion. For assistance, please contact one of your United States Senators for Virginia. You can contact Senator Mark Warner at www.warner.senate.gov or in his Richmond district office at 804-775-2314 or his Norfolk District Office at 757-441-3079.  Or you can contact Senator Tim Kaine at  www.kaine.senate.gov or in his Richmond district office at 804-771-2221 or his Virginia Beach District Office at 757-518-1674.

Am I eligible for assistance?

  • Are you a resident of the 4th District of Virginia? You can check by entering your zip code
  • Does your case involve a federal agency? You can visit my "Help with a Federal Agency" page. 
  • Does this case primarily involve you or your dependent? Privacy laws can limit your ability to represent another individual or group. You may want to have them contact us directly.

What types of assistance can I expect from Randy?

  • My office is here to assist constituents with problems involving a federal agency. I may make inquiries as to the status of your case, obtain additional information, or direct you to appropriate resources or services. 
  • My role is to assure you a fair and thorough review of your case and to seek a timely response from a federal agency.

What types of assistance can I not expect from Randy?

  • As a legislator, I am unable to become involved in court cases or legal issues due to the Separation of Powers in the U.S. Constitution.

Can I get my case expedited?

  • It is rare that a case can be “sped up” for any reason other than extreme hardship, but if you believe your situation merits faster processing, please contact my district office. My staff will discuss your situation and help you determine the proper strategy.
