Constituent Services

I am not only the Senator from Maryland, but also the Senator for Maryland. I take great pride in my work on behalf of my constituents. My office can assist Marylanders with casework with the federal government, in obtaining federal grants, nominations to the military academies, Washington tours, internships, and flags flown over the U.S. Capitol.

As a courtesy to my Senate colleagues, if you are not a Maryland resident, I must refer your request to your home state Senator. For your convenience, I have included a list of my Senate colleagues with links to their home pages.

Washington Office

My Washington office focuses mainly on federal legislation. I welcome your comments, opinions and questions on pending federal legislation. You can learn more about the legislative process and my positions on various issues by visiting the Legislative Issues section of my web site. If you would like to share your opinion with me, please send me your opinion using my website and fill out the form completely and thoroughly so I can respond to your message quickly.

State Offices

My state offices take primary responsibility for handling casework. If you need help cutting through government red tape with a federal program such as Social Security, Medicare, or veterans benefits, or are have a problem with a government agency such as the Internal Revenue Service or Immigration and Naturalization Service, my staff can make an inquiry on your behalf.

Caseworkers in my state offices will make every effort to assist you. Whether it's obtaining information from federal agencies related to programs or benefits for which you may be eligible or an issue that needs to be resolved with a federal government agency, my staff stands ready to help. For more information, please go to my Caseworker page.

If you are having a problem with a Maryland state agency, such as the Workers Compensation Commission, Department of Human Resources, or the Injured Workers Insurance Fund, your Maryland Delegate or State Senator would be the best person to assist you. You may also want to contact the Governor's Constituent Services office in Baltimore at (410) 947-3006 or (800) 811-8336.
