Udall staffer to visit Clovis, Portales

A staff member for Rep. Tom Udall, D-N.M., will hold constituent office hours in Clovis and Portales this week, according to a news release.

Udall staff member Christopher Neubauer will be available to meet with area residents. Anyone wishing to make an appointment may do so by calling 763-7616. Anyone desiring to discuss issues relating to Congress or the federal government is welcome to stop by.

“As part of my efforts to deliver excellent service to my constituents, I encourage New Mexicans that are having problems with a federal agency to meet with Chris and see what help is available,” Udall said. “It is also my goal to provide quick and efficient service to my constituents as their representative in Washington. In short, the office I hold belongs to the people, and I shall always treat it as an honor and a trust from them.”

Some of the areas Udall can help with are veterans issues, Social Security, federal housing programs, immigration and passports.

Neubauer will be at the Clovis Public Library from 3-5 p.m. Wednesday, and at Portales City Hall from 8-9 a.m. Thursday.
