Lamont Mobile Office Hours for David G. Valadao

Lamont   Mobile Office Hours
Navigating the bureaucracy of the federal government can be   frustrating. As your Congressman, one of my most important responsibilities   is to serve as a link between you and the federal government. Although I   cannot override the decisions made by a federal agency, I can often intervene   on a person’s behalf to answer questions, find solutions, or just help cut   through the red tape.

 

These   services are available Monday through Friday in my Hanford (Kings) and   Bakersfield (Kern) offices. However, I wanted to ensure that all my   constituents had access to this opportunity so I began my Mobile   Office Program. This program affords residents who are unable to   visit my offices the opportunity to meet with my staff and receive services   at a more convenient location.

 

I   wanted to let you know that a member of my staff with be in Lamont   this coming Monday, September 16 at the Lamont Family   Apartments Community Center located at 7022 Di Giorgio Road, Lamont,   California 93241 from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM to provide   assistance in any way they can.

 

I   hope you are able to stop by with any questions or concerns you may have. I   especially encourage you to get one-on-one assistance if you are having   difficulties with a federal agency.

 

Should you have additional questions   or if you would like to schedule an appointment in advance, you can email Gaby   Castaneda or call my Bakersfield Office at (661) 864-7736.   Pre-arranged appointments, however, are not required and walk-ins are always   welcome.

Sincerely,

David G. Valadao
Member of Congress
