Defazio Responds

Regarding “Poor Showing, Pete” published Dec. 6 in Letter to the Editor: Lee Gire states his letter never received a response. Our records indicate that Mr. Gire wrote to me on Nov. 13, 2016, regarding Trump’s proposals to roll back Obama’s executive orders reducing carbon emissions.

I strongly opposed Trump on those measures and I responded to Mr. Gire four days after receipt of his email. I take constituent correspondence very seriously. My office receives thousands of letters, calls and emails every week, and we respond as quickly as possible. 

Please continue to keep in touch with me on issues that are important to you, and be sure to check your spam filters.
