If you need help with a federal government agency or issue, I'm happy to provide assistance and advocate for you however I can. My office can often contact the appropriate agency on your behalf to assure that you have been given every consideration available. Please know that I cannot force an agency to act in favor of a constituent. However, I can help communicate the circumstances and request that they answer questions, find solutions, or just ensure you receive a fair and timely response to your problem.
If your situation is an emergency that requires urgent help (an urgent passport request, an ill family member overseas, etc.) you should call my Evansville Office for immediate assistance.
Please read the following before submitting your request:
Do you reside in the Eighth Congressional District of the State of Indiana?
Congressional courtesy, ethics rules, and propriety dictate that each Member of Congress
has the honor and responsibility to serve their own constituents. If you aren’t sure which Congressional District you live in, please check here.
Examples of Government Institutions and Agencies with which we can assist:
Where I cannot intervene:
Because of the Constitutional separation of powers between the three branches of government, judicial matters (matters which involve the court system) do not fall under the jurisdiction of a Member of Congress. Examples of judicial matters are:
- Child custody
- Divorce
- Civil/Criminal trials
- Pardons/records expungement
Issues related to the State of Indiana and state agencies are not under the jurisdiction of a Member of the U.S. Congress. Please contact
your local State Senator or State Representative for assistance. If you are unsure of who represents you in the Indiana General Assembly, please visit http://iga.in.gov/legislative/find-legislators/.
