Help with a Federal Agency

If you can't get an answer from a federal agency in a timely fashion, or if you feel you have been treated unfairly, our office may be able to help resolve a problem or get you the information you need. While we cannot guarantee you a favorable outcome, we will do our best to help you receive a fair and timely response to your problem.

Residents of the 1st Congressional District of Wisconsin can contact us for assistance in dealing with Federal agencies. In order to better serve you, this form will generate a printable page that you should sign and mail to our office. Please mail all forms of constituent mail to our Janesville Office: 20 S. Main Street Suite 10 Janesville, WI 53545. 

Planning an international trip?

Are you planning an international trip?  We urge you to check your passport expiration date and apply now if you need to renew.  Routine processing takes 8 – 11 weeks.  Expedited processing ($60 extra fee) takes 5 – 7 weeks.  For information regarding U.S. Passports, you can visit the U.S. Department of State website.
