                CLOSING 8,000 CONSTITUENT SERVICE CASES

  (Ms. PORTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate the amazing casework 
team in my Orange County office, which recently closed over 8,000 
constituent cases. Their hard work and dedication have given Orange 
County residents a voice with Federal agencies and gotten them the 
answers that they deserve.
  Our casework team has facilitated efficient immigration proceedings, 
secured last-minute passports, and directly returned over $24 million 
to the people of Orange County in Social Security benefits, IRS tax 
returns, veteran benefits, and more.
  Navigating our Federal processes and programs should not be 
complicated, and my office has helped make that a reality for the 
people I represent. I am incredibly proud of how this team has cut 
through red tape, promoted transparency, and delivered for Orange 
County families.
  It is my honor to help constituents with Federal agency issues, and I 
am grateful for the trust they have placed in my office.
