Services Available to Constituents
One of the most important jobs I have in Congress is providing the people of Poway, Coronado, and San Diego with a number of constituent services. An abbreviated list is below and, as always, feel free to contact either of my offices at 858-455-5550 (San Diego) or 202-225-0508 (DC) if you have any questions.
From my San Diego office we offer the following services: Help with a federal agency if you are having trouble getting an issue resolved or a response; Passport help in some emergency situations; Assistance in determining immigration and visa status; and Military Academy nominations to our country’s service academies. My San Diego office has secured over $600,000 for veterans and their families as of March 2014.
From my Washington, D.C. office we offer the following: Coordination on tours of some of DC’s sights including the Capitol Building, the White House, and the Library of Congress; Having a flag flown over the U.S. Capitol Building; Congressional commendations for numerous occasions; and Presidential greetings to commemorate certain events.
In addition both offices offer internships throughout the year, which provides local students with a chance to experience the legislative process and constituent casework services.
Right now, my office also has two opportunities for high-school students in the 52nd District: the Congressional Art Competition and the House App Contest. For more details please see my website.
