Representing the Fourth District of Arkansas in Congress is the honor of a lifetime, and the ability to bring the voices of friends, family, and neighbors to Washington is certainly a privilege that will never be taken for granted. While the work in Washington certainly never ends, so do cumbersome federal issues that constituents face. This is why there are several representatives across the Fourth District from my office who are ready and eager to help with any problems our constituents may be facing.

Navigating the federal government can be cumbersome and certainly feel overwhelming. With the endless federal red tape and often delayed responses, our office is equipped to navigate these issues and work directly with the folks who need help. Regardless of what your issue may be: trouble renewing a passport, waiting on a tax refund, trouble with Social Security or healthcare benefits, and more – we’ve got your back.

Recently, one of my casework representatives was able to walk a constituent through a particularly challenging time as she was facing issues with her Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). After a lot of patience and dedicated work, my staff was able to get the results that were desperately needed. 

In a kind follow-up, my office received a letter of gratitude which said, “I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for all the support and guidance you’ve given me through the Congressman’s office regarding my SSDI case. Your kindness, patience, and dedication truly made a difference during a difficult time in my life. It means more than words can say to have someone not only understand the process but care enough to walk alongside me through it. Your help didn’t go unnoticed—and it won’t be forgotten.”

These kind words serve as an excellent reminder that at the core of our commitment to the people of the Fourth District of Arkansas is the unwavering determination to serve with compassion, dedication, and empathy. My staff is also proud to serve their community, and we look forward to every opportunity to deliver results for our neighbors with the kindness, patience, and dedication that were so kindly mentioned in this constituent’s response.

If you find that you are facing challenges with a federal agency, please don’t hesitate to contact my Hot Springs office at (501) 609-9796 or Pine Bluff office at (870) 536-8178. It cannot be expressed enough how much of an honor it is to represent the Fourth District of Arkansas. Taking care of constituents is a responsibility not taken lightly, and it is encouraging to know that our office is well-equipped to serve and assist in any way possible.
