Congressman Biggs Marks 5,000 Completed Constituent Cases
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Andy Biggs (AZ-05) recently marked the 5,000th completed constituent case since entering Congress, showing how intentional and effective his office has been throughout his five terms in the U.S. House of Representatives.
One of the primary responsibilities of a Member of Congress is to assist constituents with issues they have with the federal government. Members of Congress routinely help to clear away the bureaucracy with federal agencies, obtaining answers for constituents when they appear to reach dead ends. While congressional inquiries do not always yield positive results for constituents, these cases often receive favorable outcomes.
“Since I took office, my team and I have embraced the importance of serving the men and women of our district,”said Congressman Biggs. “Every day, we walk into the office with a mindset to serve and to help our constituents receive answers when they have questions or issues with a federal agency. I am grateful for the members of my team (especially in the District Office), who are dedicated to helping me achieve this purpose. We are thankful and honored to serve the great people of Arizona’s Fifth Congressional District.”
One of these cases occurred when a constituent recently contacted Congressman Biggs’s office for assistance with his daughter’s immigration visa application. After Team Biggs worked with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the man’s daughter had her embassy interview scheduled in short order. When he received the positive news, the dad said, “As a father, the joy and relief I feel at the opportunity to reunify with my minor daughter is beyond words. I will forever speak of the importance of the work you do as the Congressman for Arizona, and I will encourage others facing difficult circumstances to reach out to your esteemed office for guidance and support.”
Since Congressman Biggs first took office in January 2017, his office has helped recover more than $10 million for constituents of Arizona’s Fifth Congressional District.
