Help with a Federal Agency

One of the most important parts of my job as your representative in Congress is to help you communicate with federal agencies. Although I cannot override the decisions made by a federal agency, I can often intervene on your behalf to answer questions, find solutions, or just cut through the red tape. 

I can 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.
