Chuck Edwards decided to try to meet his constituents where they’re at when he came to Congress earlier this year. Literally.
The North Carolina Republican took the unusual step of creating a mobile office, a van that travels around the state’s 11th District to help with veterans and Social Security issues. Questions about passports, immigration or the IRS? Staffers in the van field those too.
It’s the kind of constituent casework that is a basic function of any congressional office, and the roaming van made sense in his rural district.
