FORTY FORT, PA: Today, U.S. Representative Rob Bresnahan, Jr. (PA-08) recognized the six-month mark of representing Pennsylvania’s Eighth Congressional District. During the first six months, Rep. Bresnahan established a full staff and worked to deliver results and make government more accessible to the people of Northeastern Pennsylvania, according to Bresnahan's office.

“What I said on day one only rings truer today: this job is not about me, it is about the constituents of Pennsylvania’s Eighth District,” said Rep. Bresnahan. “I am proud of the work we’ve accomplished thus far, returning taxpayer dollars to constituents, resolving important paperwork issues for seniors and veterans, and bringing the federal government directly to the people.”

In his first six months, Rep. Bresnahan has:

• Opened four district offices located in Forty Fort, Scranton, Scotrun, and Hazleton, making it easier for constituents across the region to access federal resources, get help with casework, and stay connected to Rep. Bresnahan.
• Launched the first mobile constituent service office in the Commonwealth, the BresnaVan, bringing vital services directly to communities across the district and ensuring every voice is heard.
• Responded to over 53,000 constituent inquiries, providing support and updates on federal issues.
• Completed nearly 900 casework requests, helping individuals navigate federal agencies and access the services they need.
• Returned over $2 million taxpayer dollars to constituents through successful casework assistance.
• Worked with 38 different federal agencies, including the IRS, VA, and Social Security administration.
• Attended over 112 community events, connecting directly with constituents and local leaders across Northeastern Pennsylvania.

“These first six months mark a strong start, but the work is just beginning,” said Rep. Bresnahan. “I remain focused on advocating for our district, making government more accessible, cutting through federal red tape, and ensuring Northeastern Pennsylvania has a strong advocate in Washington.”
