Our office breaks from standard Capitol Hill procedure with 24/7 staff availability for emergencies and accessible to answer questions about legislation and public policy. Serving on The Financial Services Committee and Chair of the Congressional Taskforce on Terrorism and Unconventional Warfare, Congressman Pittenger maintains one of the top committee attendance records in all of Congress. During Congressman Pittenger’s first term (2013-2014): Nearly 2200 constituents received assistance with issues including Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Veterans benefits, passports, and the IRS. 62,429 letters/e-mails regarding legislation and policy issues were answered. 79,179 constituents received a personal phone call as staff reached out to ensure constituents had access to services and resources. Congressman Pittenger hosted more than 30 town hall meetings. “Serving you is my number one priority,” said Congressman Pittenger. “Whether you need assistance cutting through federal red tape, have questions about how legislation impacts your daily life, or would like to share your thoughts or concerns or ideas, we are ready to serve you in every way possible.” While more than 380 bills passed by the House of Representatives, many with bipartisan support, were blocked by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Congressman Pittenger was successful in leading the Kilah Davenport Child Protection Act to passage in both the House and Senate and signed into law by President Obama. The House of Representatives also unanimously passed Congressman Pittenger’s legislation to modernize outdated regulations which hinder online banking and overdraft protection transactions. “In 2015, I will remain committed to excellent constituent service, working in a bipartisan fashion to advance common sense legislation which improves the economy, helps create jobs, and cuts unnecessary red tape, and working every day to faithfully represent the people of Mecklenburg, Union, and Iredell counties.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
