Writing Your Representative

Find out who represents you in Congress. See guidelines on how to write a letter that best communicates your message to your member of congress.


Today’s congressional work schedule no longer permits the frequent and extended visits back home that used to keep members of Congress in close personal touch with their constituents.

As a result, letters from home have become the main form of voter contact and the prime source of constituency views. Your U.S. senators and representatives, the President, and your state and local leaders need to hear from you.  Writing an effective letter to your elected officials is not a difficult task.
