Fedorchak to hold mobile office hours in Jamestown for federal help

Residents dealing with delayed veterans benefits, a stuck Social Security claim or an IRS problem had a chance to take the issue directly to U.S. Rep. Julie Fedorchak’s staff in Jamestown. The office set mobile hours at Alfred Dickey Public Library, giving Stutsman County a face-to-face federal service stop in the middle of the county seat and largest city.

The Jamestown visit ran Tuesday, April 21, from noon to 2 p.m. CT at the library at 105 3rd Street SE, inside the James River Valley Library System. Fedorchak’s office said constituents could sign up for one-on-one meetings, with walk-ins seen as time allowed after scheduled appointments. The arrangement was designed for casework that can stall in the paperwork maze of federal agencies.

Fedorchak said the office hours were meant to help with problems ranging from veterans’ benefits to Social Security and IRS issues. Her office said the goal was to help North Dakotans cut through red tape and get results. That kind of direct intervention can matter most when a claim has been delayed, a file has gone unanswered or a federal agency has left a family waiting without a clear next step.

The Jamestown stop was part of a broader mobile office-hours tour Fedorchak launched across North Dakota on Nov. 10, 2025. The April schedule also covered Williams, Cass, Grand Forks, McKenzie and Stark counties, putting the congresswoman’s staff in communities far from Washington and closer to the people who need help navigating federal systems.

Stutsman County’s 2020 Census population was 21,593, and Jamestown’s role as the county seat made it the natural place for the outreach effort to land. Fedorchak, a first-term Republican elected in 2024, has framed the visits as a way to connect constituents with federal casework and make her office more accessible outside the Capitol.
