Constituent CaseworkDealing with federal agencies can sometimes be frustrating and time consuming. In these cases, my constituent liaison staff can "cut the red tape" and help advocate and expedite an appropriate, and hopefully positive, resolution. Please be advised that there are certain things that my office cannot help you with. I cannot help you with non-federal issues such as renewal of Notary Public Licenses, problems with Driver's Licenses or your property tax rebate. I am also prohibited by law from recommending you for a job or a promotion. If you would like more information on how I may assist you, please contact my staff at the regional office closest to you.
