Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher Announces 12,000 Matters Resolved on Behalf of Texas’ Seventh Congressional District Residents

Today, Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher (TX-07) announced that her office has successfully resolved 12,000 matters for residents of Texas’ Seventh Congressional District.  Her office assists residents with matters before federal agencies, including obtaining benefits from Social Security, Medicare, and the Department of Veterans Affairs, as well as addressing matters before the Small Business Administration, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, Internal Revenue Service, and others. 

“Every day, our team of constituent advocates works to serve our constituents on matters of all kinds, including seeking assistance with federal agencies,” said Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher.  “I am grateful to the residents of Texas’ Seventh Congressional District who have put their trust in me and my team to help resolve some of their most pressing needs.  I am proud of our team and I look forward to continuing to serve our neighbors and helping our community in every way we can.”

Below are some testimonials from constituents Congresswoman Fletcher and her team have helped:

Social Security Administration

“I applied for Medicare in October 2022—have been unable to obtain Medicare number even after calling multiple times.  The office got it done in less than a week. 

“Fantastic, thanks!”

  • Maria V. 

United States Citizenship and Immigration Services

“I was struggling to renew my driver’s license, which was under SAVE verification for a long time. I had all the necessary documents but still, verification was taking so much time and my old license had expired.  I cannot commute to work legally with my expired driver’s license.  I had to find a way and I found Lizzie Fletcher. 

“I did reach out to Lizzie and her team to help me expedite the verification to secure the renewal of my driver's license as I'm a resident of her congressional district.  The team was fantastic with their follow ups and in reaching out to USCIS to check the status. They succeeded in contacting the right person and helping me get SAVE verified sooner than I expected. 

“I truly appreciate the support provided by Lizzie and her team.”

Internal Revenue Service

“I contacted the Congresswoman’s office to help us expedite my wife and my carry-back tax refunds.  The IRS had given us the runaround for almost two years between our personal and business refunds that were owed.  Our accountant and us were having a very difficult time dealing with the IRS directly and getting through to the right person over the phone was near impossible.  I had very little confidence that anyone could help us with the IRS bureaucracy but [Constituent Advocate] Fatimah exceeded expectations.  We received the final refunds from the IRS this week and were very pleased with Fatimah’s responsiveness and helping to facilitate a positive outcome.”
