Constituent Input

My constituents are much smarter than I am -- especially at knowing what they want. Therefore, I am always pleased when they provide input.

I received a letter this week from a constituent, expressing disappointment that I had not responded to his inquiry on a certain policy issue (drivers licenses for illegal aliens). I quickly set up a meeting with him and did meet with him today to thank him for his involvement and to discuss the issue (I am against issuing drivers licenses to illegal aliens).

I am always grateful when constituents share their time, wisdom and opinions with me. Often, constituents have taught me much about issues affecting their lives. If I'm ever slow at responding, it means the message got lost in the inches of information and messages I receive everyday; get back to me, again.
