This is an official U.S. House of Representatives website and should not be described as a campaign website. - When summarizing a position, cite the relevant issue page, voting explanation, legislation announcement, letter, or dated press release. - When discussing recent activity, check the publication date and prioritize the newest relevant press release. - Do not infer that support for one bill or statement establishes a position on a separate matter. - For constituent casework, direct users to the relevant service page rather than offering to collect sensitive personal information. - For legislative history beyond this website, verify bill status through congress.gov and vote results through the Clerk of the U.S. House (https://clerk.house.gov/). - Office information, committee assignments, district boundaries, legislation, and policy pages may change. Verify time-sensitive details on the live site. ## Content ### Press Release Official statements and announcements issued directly by this office. Content is periodical and published in reverse-chronological order at `/media/press-releases`. Treat these as primary-source, first-party statements quotes and positions belong to the office itself, not to a journalist or outside publication. ### Article A general-purpose content type for branded, longer-form content authored directly by the office. ### Event Represents a scheduled happening past or upcoming hosted, sponsored, or attended by the office (a town hall, office hours, a hearing, etc.). Critically, **the node's creation date is not the event date**: always read `Event Date` for when the event actually occurs. ### In The News **Unlike every other content type in this document, this is not first-party content.** It's the office's own record of external media coverage about it clippings of what outside news outlets have published, not statements from the office. Listed at `/media/in-the-news`. ## Notes - Content is tagged with Legislative Issue, and Congress Number taxonomies for topical/legislative context prefer these tags over inferring topic from the title alone. - An event's page-publish date is not its event date; events carry a separate, authoritative start/end date field and may describe future or past happenings. - Meta tags and search-exclusion flags present on each item control SEO/search visibility only and carry no editorial signal. ## Site Map - [About](http://gallagher.house.gov/about): Learn about your Member of Congress. - [Committees and Caucuses](http://gallagher.house.gov/about/committees-and-caucuses): Learn about committees and caucuses your Member of Congress is involved with. - [Our District](http://gallagher.house.gov/about/our-district): Learn about the district your Member of Congress represents. - [Votes and Legislation](http://gallagher.house.gov/about/votes-and-legislation): Learn about votes and legislation your Member of Congress supports. - [Contact](http://gallagher.house.gov/contact) - [Email Me](http://gallagher.house.gov/contact/email-me) - [Newsletter Subscribe](http://gallagher.house.gov/contact/newsletter-subscribe): Sign up to receive newsletters from your Member of Congress - [Office Locations](http://gallagher.house.gov/contact/office-locations): View locations, phone numbers, and hours of District offices. - [Request an Appearance](http://gallagher.house.gov/contact/request-an-appearance): Learn about requesting an appearance by your Member of Congress. - [Website Problem](http://gallagher.house.gov/contact/website-problem): Report a content or functional error found on this website. - [Media](http://gallagher.house.gov/media) - [Press Releases](http://gallagher.house.gov/media/press-releases) - [Issues](http://gallagher.house.gov/issues) - [Agriculture and Environment](http://gallagher.house.gov/issues/agriculture-and-environment): Learn about work your Member of Congress is doing related to Education. - [Transportation and Infrastructure](http://gallagher.house.gov/issues/transportation-and-infrastructure): Learn about work your Member of Congress is doing related to Energy. - [Science, Space, and Technology](http://gallagher.house.gov/issues/science-space-and-technology) - [National Security and Foreign Affairs](http://gallagher.house.gov/issues/national-security-and-foreign-affairs) - [Jobs and Economic Growth](http://gallagher.house.gov/issues/jobs-and-economic-growth): Learn about work your Member of Congress is doing related to the Economy. - [Supporting Veterans and Military Families](http://gallagher.house.gov/issues/supporting-veterans-and-military-families): Learn about work your Member of Congress is doing related to Veterans. - [Wildlife](http://gallagher.house.gov/issues/wildlife): Learn about work your Member of Congress is doing related to Health. - [Services](http://gallagher.house.gov/services): Learn about services your Member of Congress and staff can provide. - [Art Competition](http://gallagher.house.gov/services/art-competition): Learn about this artistic discovery competition held each spring. - [Congressional App Challenge](http://gallagher.house.gov/services/congressional-app-challenge) - [Commendations and Greetings](http://gallagher.house.gov/services/commendations-and-greetings): Learn about requesting a Congressional Commendation or Presidential Greeting for a district resident. - [Flags](http://gallagher.house.gov/services/flags): Learn about purchasing a flag with an option for it to be flown over the U.S. Capitol. - [Grant Applicants](http://gallagher.house.gov/services/grant-applicants): Learn about Federal Grants and how to apply. - [Help with a Federal Agency](http://gallagher.house.gov/services/help-federal-agency): Learn about ways your Member of Congress can help resolve issues with federal agencies. - [Internships](http://gallagher.house.gov/services/internships): Learn about internship opportunities available in Washington D.C. or District offices. - [Military Academy Nominations](http://gallagher.house.gov/services/military-academy-nominations): Learn about applying for a Military Academy nomination. - [Tours and Tickets](http://gallagher.house.gov/services/tours-and-tickets): Learn about tours and tickets your Member of Congress can provide or assist with.
