Guide To Calling Your Legislator

Calling your national, state, or local government official is surprisingly easy. In fact, if you start making a lengthy speech on the phone, you might even get cut off. Here are the five key points you need share when calling your representative:

  • Your name

  • Representative’s name and that you are their constituent

  • Organization with which you are involved (if applicable)

  • Legislative Bill Number

  • Your support or disapproval of that Bill

Don’t know your State Senator or Assembly Member?  Click Here to find out and get their contact info!

NOTE: YOU ONLY NEED TO LIST THE NUMBER OF THE BILL in your support email or call. THE TITLE IS FOR YOUR INFORMATION ONLY.
