Military and Veterans

Jeff believes strongly in supporting our military both overseas and at home. Our veterans have stood up for us, and we must stand up for them. If you or someone you know is a veteran or currently serving in the military and seeking assistance, Jeff and his office stand ready to help.

MAIL DELAY:

Due to heightened security concerns in the U.S. Capitol, all physical mail sent to my Senate office in Washington, D.C., may be significantly delayed by security screening procedures.

Note also that my office is receiving an extremely high volume of letters and e-mails each week, and it is taking us longer than usual to respond. We appreciate your patience as we work to get back to you.

CALL IF URGENT: If your issue is urgent or time-sensitive, please call my office in Portland (503-326-3386) and ask to speak to a Constituent Services Representative.


HELPFUL WEBSITES:
