Greg Stanton took office.\n\nStanton\u2019s team has helped nearly 1,800 constituents navigate bureaucratic hurdles on a wide range of issues, from taxes to immigration services to veterans\u2019 benefits. One of the most common kinds of cases Stanton\u2019s office handles is helping residents receive backlogged federal benefits they\u2019re owed, such as Social Security. To date, the office has returned more than $2.3 million in Social Security benefits alone.\n\n\u201cProviding unmatched constituent service makes a real difference in people\u2019s lives, and in at least one case we\u2019ve handled has helped stop one of our constituents from experiencing homelessness,\u201d said Stanton.\n\nAs Arizonans continue to suffer the economic and public health effects of the COVID-19 crisis, Stanton brought on additional casework staff to help constituents seeking unemployment and housing assistance and obtaining CARES Act benefits\u2014including small businesses loans and IRS Economic Impact Payments.\n\nResidents who aren\u2019t getting the information they need from a federal agency, or believe they have been treated unfairly, can call Stanton\u2019s Arizona office at (602) 956-2463 or visit his website at stanton.house.gov/services/help-federal-agency.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-06-28T00:34:36Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://stanton.house.gov/2020/10/stanton-returns-more-28-million-constituents"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8538849651813507, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
