Rep. Don Beyer’s staff hosting constituent services event in Del Ray tomorrow

The staff of Alexandria Congressman Don Beyer, D-Va., are hosting an event tomorrow (Thursday) to discuss his office’s constituent services.

Beyer’s staff will host the “Congress in our Community” from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at the James M. Duncan Branch Library at 2501 Commonwealth Avenue. No appointment is necessary to attend, Beyer said in a note to the Del Ray Citizens Association.

“If you are in need of help with a passport application that is taking too long, a tax return from the IRS, or another issue with a federal agency — please stop by, my office is happy to help,” Beyer told DRCA. “The need for federal government assistance in our community remains high and I’m always looking to assist, support, and advocate for my constituents however I can.”

The meeting is an open invitation to constituents and is held monthly. The next meeting date and location haven’t been set, according to Aaron Fritschner, Beyer’s deputy chief of staff.

“Congressman Beyer’s staff offer open access to make constituent services support more convenient for Northern Virginians,” Fritschner said.

Those who need assistance with a federal agency but are unable to attend can contact Beyer’s district office at 703-658-5403.

As previously reported, Beyer and Virginia’s U.S. Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine are declining paychecks during the ongoing government shutdown.
