As the year draws to an end, I find myself very thankful for the opportunity to represent you and Alabama’s Sixth District in Congress. Hopefully, this time of year allows you to enjoy time with your family and gain some much-needed rest. I know this year has not been easy for many Americans, but I hope that our struggles have given us a new sense of resilience.
My staff and I have been hard at work during 2023 to make sure you are represented well. Over the last calendar year, we sent out over 30,000 letters responding to your comments and concerns regarding issues and legislation. Additionally, my staff and I had over 200 meetings with constituents, businesses, and advocacy groups to ensure that your concerns were heard.
If you are ever in Washington, D.C., please come by our office! This year, our office gave over 150 tours of the Capitol, with a total of over 700 constituents joining on those tours.
In our district office, over 600 constituents were assisted with federal issues, including a large number of IRS, passport, veterans, and social security cases. Our district office staff also visited schools throughout the community and made presentations about the U.S Constitution to approximately 2000 students.
Even though I was voting in Washington for a large part of the year, I was still able to be active in the Sixth District. This year, I spoke to college students at the University of Montevallo, Samford University, and the University of Alabama. I also spoke to grade school students in Fairfield, Vestavia Hills, Helena, and Mountain Brook. My staff and I also hosted multiple lunches for mayors representing dozens of cities and towns in the district. Additionally, I was able to visit 22 different cities and towns in the district, many on multiple occasions, and toured numerous businesses and manufacturing facilities. While at home, I was also able to host and attended meetings with constituents, including chambers of commerce events, prayer breakfasts, and other community events and local meetings. Finally, this year I nominated students to all four U.S. Service Academies and held both an academy night and academy nomination reception.
Looking back on the year, I am reminded of the great blessing we have to live in such a wonderful place as central Alabama. It truly is a wonderful place to live and raise a family. I hope to be a part of keeping it that way for future generations.
If you ever want to express your thoughts or comments regarding legislative issues, please call our D.C. office at (202) 225-4921 or email me through my website. If you need help with a federal agency, please see if we can assist you by calling our district office at (205) 968-1290 or filling out this form on my website.
I hope you and your family had a Merry Christmas and have a happy New Year. It is an honor to represent you, and I look forward to being in touch in January.
Sincerely,
