Tom Reed’s office opened its 6,000th constituent case, marking a milestone that while Reed says rarely makes headlines, is the most important part of the job.

“Our first and most important job is to be a resource for everyone in the district to help navigate through bureaucratic red tape and confusion,” Reed said. “However big or small a constituent case is, we have a great team in the district ready to answer questions and get the help constituents need. I can’t stress enough how important each constituent’s case or question is – caring for their needs is our priority. Our door is always open.”

Reed’s office is one of Congress’ most active in holding town hall meetings, having held more than 130 town hall meetings throughout the district. In addition to holding town halls, Reed regularly hosts senior resource events, advisory boards, tele-town halls and listening sessions to collect input.

Reed’s staff also holds regular office hours in Tioga County in Owego on the first and third Wednesday of each month. For information on additional office hours and town halls throughout the district, constituents are encouraged to sign up for email updates.
