Today, my amendment to assist small businesses access credit passed the House as part of the Small Business Lending Fund Act. This bill is designed to increase small business lending and job creation, is fully paid for and will save taxpayers $1 billion over the next ten years. My amendment allows small community banks to amortize or write-down losses over a six to ten year period, which will free up capital in banks to loan to small businesses.

This legislation has been endorsed by a variety of organizations, including the National Small Business Association, the Small Business Majority, National Association of Realtors, the Conference of State Bank Supervisors, the American Bankers Association, Biotechnology Industry Organization and the National Bankers Association.

2010 Service Academy Nomination Reception
Ed with Morgan Tilong of Aurora, who is heading to
the Air Force Academy this summer

One of the most important and rewarding aspects of representing CD 7 is nominating the best and brightest students in our community to our prestigious service academies. Every year I am more impressed with the caliber of students applying through my office to serve our nation. Recently I had the opportunity to meet the 2010 nominating class and their families at a reception in my District Office.

To discuss taxes, the economy or any issue important to you, please attend my next Government in the Grocery.

Not only does this give me an opportunity to hear directly from my constituents but it helps me to better represent you in Washington DC. Please note constituents are given priority and due to time constraints groups or individuals are limited to approximately five minute intervals.


My Office Is Here to Help You!

One of the most important functions of serving in Congress is helping my constituents cut through some of the red tape when dealing with government agencies. We help constituents with many casework issues including passport, IRS, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and Veterans Administration (VA) benefits. I take pride in having the most responsive District Office possible and my staff and I will do our best to resolve your issues as quickly as we can.

Dear Ed,

Thank you for your assistance in getting my son’s green card. He was approved for permanent residence, but after 6 months of waiting, we didn’t hear back until your office helped. Thanks again Ed.
