Washington, D.C. — Congressman Michael C. Burgess, M.D. (R-TX), Chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Commerce, Manufacturing and Trade, launched a new, more user-friendly website to better communicate with and serve his constituents in the 26^th district of Texas. Visitors to the website can request services from the “Constituent Services” section and sign up for the e-newsletter all from the homepage.

“We live in a technologically advanced age, in which Americans rely on the internet to get digestible information quickly. This new user-friendly design will help constituents share their thoughts and comments with me more efficiently and access the information they need more easily.
