Contacting my Congressman

Week 5
Contacting my Congressman
Victor Murillo

This assignment was very deja vu for me. I never though about how I have how to contact my congressman till this recent election and I always some how had a connection to him when I was young. I live in the San Fernando Valley in the 30th district in California. My congressman is Brad Sherman he assumed office in 2013. I voted for for him since I had worked one of his town hall meetings at my school for extra credit. At that time I never really paid much attention to politics, but now with this recent election it is the only thing i pay attention to. I do now regret now asking more serious questions when I would have had an opportunity to talk to the congressman directly. Now since political plays an important role in everyone's life I need to stay invested. I looked up Mr. Sherman's office in California and DC and called him to ask important questions the safety of undocumented workers from so called "hit squads" sent by the new elected President. I also asked if he would allow the use of city police as immigration officers for ICE or Customs. I was sent to a voicemail where I asked my questions and bid the congressman good day. I hope to get a response from him and continue the conversation.
