A Message from Congressman George Whitesides

Serving the people of California’s 27th District — representing the Santa Clarita Valley — is the greatest honor of my life. Every day, my team and I work to make sure the federal government is working for you. Whether that means solving a problem, answering a question, or connecting you with the resources you deserve, we’re here to help.
If you’re having trouble with a federal agency, my office can step in and help cut through red tape. We’ve assisted residents with Social Security and Medicare benefits, veterans navigating the VA system, and families waiting on passports or tax refunds. No matter the issue, our caseworkers can help track your case and advocate on your behalf until you get the answers you need.
We also help connect families, seniors, and small businesses with federal programs that make a real difference in daily life. That includes energy assistance for households facing high utility costs, grants for entrepreneurs and nonprofits, and financial aid programs for students. During times of crisis — like wildfires or floods — our office works directly with agencies to help residents access recovery and relief resources quickly.
You might also see our team out in the community. We’ve been tabling at local events, farmers markets, and neighborhood gatherings across Santa Clarita — sharing information about federal programs, answering questions, and hearing directly from residents. These face-to-face conversations help us stay connected and ensure that every part of our district knows where to turn for help.
Beyond individual assistance, we’re focused on supporting the entire Santa Clarita community. My team helps local governments and organizations identify federal grants, advocate for district priorities, and stay updated on legislation that impacts our region. Whether it’s lowering everyday costs, creating good local jobs, or bringing federal funding home, we’re working to deliver real results for the families who call Santa Clarita home.
If you or someone you know needs assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You can visit my website (whitesides.house.gov) or call our office at (661) 568-4855. We’re proud to serve you — and we’re always here to help.
