Simpson Announces Changes
in Office Mail System

Washington, D.C.  -  Idaho Congressman Mike Simpson announced that he is upgrading his constituent mail system to better serve constituent needs today. The conversion to the new mail system will begin on Monday, July 16.

"Responding to constituent inquires and mail has always been my number one priority," said Simpson. "The sheer volume of emails the office now receives has necessitated an upgrade to a program that will better serve the needs of our constituents. It will also enhance our ability to keep Idahoans, who write and call me, more informed via mail, e-mail, and newsletters."

Because this conversion entails moving all constituent information to a new system and staff training, constituents may experience a short delay in responses. Congressman Simpson fully expects this transition to go very smoothly, but felt it was necessary to inform the public of this change.

What the new system means for constituents:

More efficient mail processing

Increase timeliness of constituent responses

Aid Caseworkers in assisting constituents through the red tape of the Federal Government

Increase communications with individuals who wish to receive electronic newsletters (people can sign up for these on Congressman Mike Simpson’s webpage at

www.house.gov/simpson).
