2️⃣ State Representatives & Links to Their Records
For state reps, the Legislative branch doesn’t post a simple “voting record page” like Congress — but you can search votes and bills on the official site and track how they acted on each roll call.

3️⃣ How to Actually Contact Them (and Get Heard)
Multiple channels = more visibility.
☎️ Phone
• Staff log calls and count issues. Leave a concise message if no one picks up.
• Paper letters and postcards do get tracked. They’re slower, but they land on a staffer’s desk every time.
💻 Contact Forms
• This goes straight into their official constituent tracking system.
🏛 Town Halls / Offices
• Show up, speak your piece, ask for a name in return for their pledge.
4️⃣ Scripts and What to Say
Quick Voice Script (1–2 minutes)
“Hi — I’m a constituent from [your ZIP]. I’m calling about [specific issue]. I want Rep./Sen. [name] to [specific ask] on that topic. Please record my position. Thank you!”
Short Email/Letter Template
Dear [Representative’s Name],
I’m a constituent from [your neighborhood]. I care deeply about [issue]. Based on [fact from voting record, bill name], I want you to [support/oppose] [specific legislation]. Please let me know your position.
Thank you for your service.
