Thank you for e-mailing me. I appreciate hearing from you and value your input in developing sound, common-sense policies that benefit working families and businesses in Alameda and Contra Costa counties. I have closed this e-mail account and opened up a new one to better serve my constituents. Please e-mail me at my new account, which is directly accessible at www.house.gov/writerep. I hope you will continue to inform me of your legislative concerns. Please don't hesitate to contact me or my staff at (925) 932-8899 or (202) 225-1880 if we can be of further assistance. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Sincerely, Ellen O. Tauscher Member of Congress
