Congressman Michael Cloud opened the 27th Congressional District Offices this morning. The offices had been closed since the July 30 special election that sent Rep. Cloud to Congress this past week.

The Congressman personally opened the Victoria office and took questions from the media about the office opening, his swearing in, and his first week in Congress.

“Taking care of residents of our district is my top priority,” said Rep. Cloud. “I’ve been in Washington this past week working for our district’s interests, but my office has been especially focused on reopening our district offices as quickly as possible so we can begin meeting needs here at home.”

The offices are now staffed and available to District 27 residents to provide input and request assistance from the Congressman’s office. The office can help residents navigate bureaucratic obstacles and receive fair and timely responses from federal agencies, including the Social Security Administration, Veterans Affairs, Citizenship/Immigration, FEMA, the IRS, and more.

Rep. Cloud also encouraged all those who had open cases left unresolved when former Rep. Farenthold’s office closed to contact his office and reopen the case. Due to privacy laws, those cases do not automatically transfer from one of representative’s office to another.

Rep. Cloud was sworn in to office this past Tuesday. Notable legislation included H.R. 200, a top priority of the recreational fisheries sector and saltwater anglers, which passed on Wednesday with Rep. Cloud’s support.
