Dear (Unknown),

Thank you for subscribing to my e-newsletter! It is truly an honor to be able to serve the people of New York's 15th Congressional District! 

 

We just wrapped seven consecutive weeks of session in the House, where we had several productive committee hearings, passed our first bill of the new Congress, and introduced several other pieces of new legislation.

 

So, needless to say, it's been an extremely busy time for Team Torres, but I do want to take a minute to give you an update on everything we've been working on and our accomplishments thus far.

 

Every day, we're continuing to fight to deliver results for our constituents and the American people, which is why being accessible to you is very important to us.
 
If you ever need assistance with something, don’t hesitate to reach out to our district office in the Bronx at (718) 503-9610 or in Washington, D.C. at (202) 225-4361. 

 

All my best,

Rep. Ritchie Torres signature
