Senator's home page About the District Capitol Events Contact the Senator News Photowire When most people think of the state Senate, they imagine us sitting in the upper chamber of the Capitol making new laws. Although this is an important part of our work, it is equally important for me to maintain a strong presence in my district and be of help to constituents who address their concerns to me.

With the help of my staff, I respond to more than a thousand constituent inquiries every year. These requests range from help with government agencies to specific explanations of a proposed bill. We provide many people with tour information for their visit to the state capitol. But whether great or small, every contact from a constituent is considered important to me. Using the resources available to us, we do all that we can to answer questions, address concerns, and meet your needs.

If I can provide you with help or information, please feel free to choose the "Contact Me" button on your right. There you will find out how to reach me by mail, fax or phone. You can even send me an e-mail which will be in my office moments after you send it!
