I am very pleased to welcome you to my new web site. While all of the useful information remains, there is a new look and many new features, all of which, I hope, will make your visit more enjoyable and encourage you to come back often.

Several important design features are built into the site because I want to be sure you are able to easily communicate with me and receive information from me. You will notice there are links on every page for my Contact page and to sign up for my e-Newsletter. On the bottom of every page are the addresses and phone numbers for each of my Congressional offices.

In additon to the new design and new features, we have tried to offer more information that may be useful to you. Constituent Service and Legislative areas of the web site have been expanded and navigation throughout the web site has been standardized for easy browsing.

Please take a few moments to visit several areas of the web site to see what is offered and come back often to stay abreast of updates.
