Visiting the Capitol and White House serve as the pinnacle of every trip to D.C. – from school visits to family vacations. My office is available to assist with scheduling your visit, and my staff would be happy to give you a personal tour!
All tickets are provided to constituents on a first-come, first-served basis. Please let us know as early as possible to maximize your chances. Please also note that House rules permit us to only serving constituents in Tennessee’s first district.
Here is the process for requesting tickets through my office:
Capitol Tours:
Capitol tours are available Monday through Saturday, 9:00AM – 3:00PM.
Please email [email protected] with your requested dates, times, and party size. My staff also offers floor tours to TN-01 constituents on weekdays pending the House floor schedule. TN-01 constituents may also request gallery passes through my office. Please note: galleries are open Monday - Friday. If my staff is unable to secure tour tickets for you, I would love to visit with you in my office, if my voting and committee work schedule permit. Please inform my staff if you would like to do this, and they will let you know if that is possible.
White House Tours:
White House Tours are available Tuesday-Saturday, 9:30AM - 12:00PM. Times are assigned by the White House upon confirmation.
Please email [email protected] with your requested dates and party size. For security screening purposes, the White House requires a minimum of 25 days and no more than 90 days notice. Please note that beyond submitting your information, all processing is done internally by the White House.
Due to extremely high volumes of requests, a confirmation or denial usually arrives 1-2 weeks prior to your requested dates. The White House tour schedule is subject to change, with little notice, based on inclement weather or official use.
Please note: There will be no tours held Wednesday, October 30, 2024 due to official use of the White House. Additionally, the White House will be closed November 24 - December 2, 2024 and December 22, 2024 - January 1, 2025 for the holiday season.
FBI Experience Tours:
FBI Experience tours are available Monday-Friday at 9:00AM, 10:00AM, 1:00PM, and 2:00PM.
The FBI Experience is a self-guided tour at FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C. Open to the public, the tour features interactive multimedia exhibits, content, and artifacts—including a number of items from notable cases on display for the very first time—that help illustrate the importance of the Bureau’s work to protect the nation."
Tours can be scheduled by emailing [email protected]. The tours are limited to 30 people per tour slot at this time. Due to limited availability, please submit your request as soon as possible. These can be scheduled up to 5 months in advance, but no less than 4 weeks out due to the security screening process.
Individuals must submit full name, birthdate, and Social Security Number for the security process. Social Security Numbers are not required for children under the age of 16.
