Sue, Dave, and Scotty

In August we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary. We planned a trip to Antigua for a vow renewal ceremony on the beach and a week of relaxation with family. We overcame many challenges with our travel plans but it was one month before the trip and my husband had not received his passport renewal. Without it, the trip would need to be cancelled! Passport offices were not fully reopened from the COVID-19 shutdown and it was difficult to obtain the status. Someone had suggested reaching out to our local congressman's office. I did so reluctantly, thinking I wouldn't even receive a response. Within a few days I heard back from Mr. Pellito with U.S. Congressman Joseph Morelle's office. He asked me to have my husband sign a release form and promised to follow up with the passport office. Mr. Pellito kept in touch with us as he researched the passport renewal. Within ten days the passport arrived at our house! We were so happy and thankful that we could take our special vacation as planned. We are forever grateful for their assistance with this issue and highly recommend other citizens to use their services as well.
