Find your local, state and federal elected officials

NOT SURE WHO your current elected officials are or how to reach them? Following are some websites that can point you in the right direction:

https://www.usa.gov/elected-officials This website is maintained by the United States Government and is a wealth of information for finding and reaching policy makers as local as town officials on up to U.S. Senators, Representatives and even the President.

https://www.senate.gov/senators/index.htm This website, maintained by the United States Senate, includes contact information for U.S. senators as well as historical information, committees, bios, current legislative activity and records, and more.

https://www.house.gov/representatives Similar to the Senate website, this site is maintained by the U.S. House of Representatives. You can search for your Representatives by state and district, by last name or by typing your ZIP code into a search. Like the Senate site, this also includes information on the latest legislative activity, committees and history.

https://ballotpedia.org/Who_represents_me Ballotpedia.org is a site that includes information on everything from where to vote to what’s on your ballot (local ballot initiatives as well as national). The site is sponsored by the Lucy Burns Institute, a nonpartisan and nonprofit organization headquartered in Middleton, Wisconsin. Not only can you find information about your representatives there, but it’s a great site to visit before you hit the polls to understand what’s on your ballot and research the issues ahead of time.

www.ncsl.org The National Conference of State Legislatures has a mission to “advance the effectiveness, independence and integrity of legislatures and to foster interstate cooperation and facilitate the exchange of information among legislatures.” Their website includes information about policy makers, research, training and more.
