Dear Constituent,

Thank you for your message to my U.S. Senate office.  Each week, I receive over 10,000 letters from Coloradans with their thoughts and suggestions.  Your views are invaluable and keep me consistently updated on Coloradans' concerns.  Please know that we read each letter and email and will do our utmost to get you a timely response addressing your thoughts and concerns.

I am honored to serve as your U.S. Senator.  My top priority in the Senate is to provide efficient and effective representation of people across our state.  Please know that my Colorado staff is available to handle specific services relating to the federal government (such as help with a passport, claim for veterans' benefits or a citizenship matter) and my Denver office can be reached at 303-650-7820.  If you would like to check on a request for services from my Washington, D.C. office, please call 202-224-5941 or toll-free at 877-7-MUDALL (877-768-3255).  Otherwise, be assured that we are reading your comments.

Warm regards,

Mark Udall
United States Senator
