John James recovers $20 million for constituents

Rep. John James announced his office recently hit a milestone: more than $20 million recovered for constituents during his two terms in office. James’ team has recovered a total of $20,657,956 for constituents who contacted his office for help dealing with the federal government. This includes money that was owed to people who were having trouble getting their tax refund from the IRS, denied veteran disability benefits, or who had problems getting their Social Security payments, among other issues. The tally does not include money James brought back to the district through legislative funding requests, such as money for local roadways or the $162 million that the U.S. House of Representatives recently approved to upgrade and improve Selfridge Air National Guard Base to prepare for the new fighter mission. “Constituent service is a top priority, and I’m proud that my team was able to return more than $20 million to our friends and neighbors,” James said. “My team can help cut through red tape – if you need assistance dealing with the federal government, please do not hesitate to reach out.” John James represents Michigan’s 10th Congressional District, which includes portions of Oakland County and Macomb County.
