Residents of Minnesota's Seventh Congressional District are invited to contact our office for assistance in dealing with federal issues. If you can't get an answer from a federal agency in a timely fashion, or if you feel you have been treated unfairly, our office may be able to help resolve a problem or get you the information youneed. While we cannot guarantee you a favorable outcome, we will do our best to help you receive a fair and timely response to your problem.
The Privacy Act of 1974 (5 U.S.C. § 552a) requires that Members of Congress or their staffs have written authorization before they can obtain information about an individual's case, and we must have your signature to proceed with this type of request.
