VINTON COUNTY COURIER

Due to the redistricting process, I am your new Member of Congress. I would like you to know that it is an honor to serve you. There are a number of very important challenges that our country must rise to meet, first among them is the need to create jobs so the people of this district and this country can move forward. I will continue to work hard for you throughout the course of my term to find solutions to our country's problems.

Constituent service is my top priority and includes listening to you about issues that are important to our district, and providing quality constituent service and assistance to you and your neighbors on federal issues.

I want you to know that my staff and I are available to help you with any federal issues or concerns you may be facing, such as issues regarding Social Security, Veterans Affairs benefits, Medicare and passports. Basically, if you have a concern with a federal agency, my staff and I will do all we can to assist you.

I understand that my duty is to represent the citizens of Ohio's 15th District when I cast a vote on the House floor. So, if you have a view or concern with legislation before Congress, you are welcome to share your thoughts with me by contacting the Washington, D.C. Office at (202) 225-2015.

My office can also help you if you are planning a trip to Washington, D.C. You can contact us for assistance setting up a tour of the Capitol building, the Supreme Court, or even the White House. Additionally, my office can assist you in reserving a U.S. House of Representatives gallery pass so you and your family can watch a session of Congress firsthand.

I also am grateful to have the privilege to help students interested in attending one of our nation's military service academies. It is my responsibility to nominate eligible students from Ohio's 15th Congressional District to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, the U.S. Naval Academy, the U.S. Air Force Academy, and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. Please contact one of my district offices if you or a family member is planning on applying to one of these academies and would like further information on the nomination process.

These are just a few of the services my office provides. Please feel free to contact any of my office locations with questions or federal issues you are facing at the following phone numbers: Washington, D.C. at (202) 225-2015; Hilliard District Office at (614) 771-4968; Lancaster District Office at (740) 654-2654; or Wilmington District Office at (937) 283-7049.
