Left for Columbus at 6:30 this morning, and I’m here this evening making sure the emails from constituents that came across my desk today receive a handwritten response.
One of the hardest parts of this job is hearing from constituents who are facing heartbreaking, difficult, and sometimes traumatic circumstances. Today, I heard from someone dealing with an incredibly difficult situation involving a loved one’s serious illness and struggling to find help.
There are times when an issue is outside the scope of what I’m legally or professionally able to address, and I wish more than anything that I could personally fix every problem that reaches my desk.
Even when I can’t solve the problem myself, I want you to know that I care, I listen, and I truly make every effort to help however I can and point you in the right direction.
Thank you for reaching out, for trusting me with your concerns, and for giving me the privilege of serving you. It truly is a gift.
