As a Congress person, there are many duties that must be done including constituent service, representation, legislation, and legislative oversight.

The key to being an effective congress person is carefully selecting priorities and conducting a timely plan to deal with those priorities, but in government there are sudden changes and numerous complications. As a legislator I must be well educated and seek to find what issues there are and how these issues may be resolved.…
