Agency Help

If you can't get an answer from a federal agency in a timely fashion, or if you feel you have been treated unfairly, Zoe's office may be able to help resolve a problem or get you the information you need. While we cannot guarantee you a favorable outcome, we will do our best to help you receive a fair and timely response to your problem.

Residents of the 19th Congressional District of California can contact us for assistance in dealing with Federal agencies. And, in order to better serve you, there is a form for you to fill out at the bottom of this page that will generate a printable page that you can sign and mail to our office.
