Office of Congressman Ruben Gallego

The office of Congressman Ruben Gallego, represents the 7th congressional district of Arizona. The Congressman Ruben Gallego was elected into congressional office in November 2014, he is currently serving his first term in Washington D.C.. Congressman Ruben Gallego is the son of Hispanic immigrants; he was the first to attend college in his family. The Congressman graduated from Harvard University with a degree in International Relations. Congressman Ruben Gallego is a Marine Corps veteran who served in Iraq. The main priority of the Congressman is to represent and serve to the best of his abilities the people of Arizona; all while promoting progress on Capital Hill.
The focus of the Congressman Ruben Gallego’s office is Arizona constituent services and Arizona community outreach. Constituent services entails providing referrals for individuals who need assistance with any federal matters such as home foreclosure, immigration amongst others. Community outreach focuses on setting up events that will be hosted by constituent services. As well as setting up events that the Congressman Ruben Gallego will attend when in Arizona. I will be working with constituent services on casework of constituent, along with carrying out office duties, such at data entry and research. Overall I am glad to have such an amazing learning experience, which will enhance my understanding of what congress means in America.
