Constituent Services
Last week, my office helped to reunite a family and solve an immigration case that had been caught up in bureaucracy & red tape for years.
Earlier this month, a constituent reached out to my office seeking assistance with Social Security Insurance (SSI). When he became the legal guardian of his developmentally disabled niece, he found himself struggling to pay for the 24/7 caregiver support she required.
Last week Rolling Thunder reached out to my office regarding a WWII veteran who had recently passed away with no documentation of his military service.

They spent $17,500 to repair the damages, but the bank withheld the funds from them despite the constituents showing proof of repair.
Recently a constituent contacted my office looking for assistance with contacting a Brooklyn post office manager to inform him that his USPS drivers were parking in front of a fire hydrant on 5th avenue.

Unfortunately, the constituent did not have the proper documentation to show proof of her father's military service and could not receive Military Funeral Honors for him.
