Washington Congresswoman Kathy Dahlkemper’s office announced today that is no longer accepting new casework in the 3rd District.

This is occurring because Dahlkemper lost her re-election bid to Mike Kelly of Butler on Nov. 2. She will leave office at the end of the year.

The average case takes 60 to 90 days to resolve, though some cases can take much longer. Because of that time frame, Dahlkemper’s representatives will continue to work the cases already begun but will not open any new cases, according to a news release from her office.

Constituents with open cases can ask their current constituent service representative to pass their casework on to Kelly’s office if they choose. Call your caseworker at 814-456-2038 with that request.

Dahlkemper’s office said any new requests for casework services will be forwarded to Sen. Bob Casey’s office. His office can be reached at 866-461-9159.
