Dear John,

Recent News

March was a busy month here in Washington, with plenty of work to be done for the folks back home. It's been a full schedule, from meeting with leaders in the district to tackling important issues in the Capitol. It's always great to see so many familiar faces and meet new ones when I am in DC, and I was lucky to have so many people from the district make the trip to our nation's Capitol and visit me and my staff.

If you're planning a trip to DC in the future, please reach out to my office. One of the things I can do for everyone is offer personal Capitol Tours. You can request information on that here.

Telephone Town Hall 

This month, we had another successful telephone town hall, with over 9,600 people listening in and over 70 questions asked! I say this often, but I truly appreciate everyone taking the time to listen in and be a part of our government process. Over the next few weeks, my office will reach out to everyone who had a question and who we couldn't get to live on the call!

If you would like to be included in my next telephone town hall please sign up here!
