Contact your member of Congress

There are several ways you can connect with your U.S. senators and representative to share your opinion with them. Make your voice heard by calling, emailing or sending a letter.

If you’re not sure which district you live in, look up your representative using this tool. When you communicate with them, be brief and make clear you’re a constituent.

In a survey conducted by the Congressional Management Foundation, congressional staffers highlighted the information Members of Congress want to know from constituents when they contact them:

• What actions do you want me to take?

• Why do you want me to do that?

• What are the local impacts?

• What is your personal story connected to the policy?

For electronic communication, members’ offices include include forms on their websites. If you call, call the member’s DC office, where their policy staff are located. Below are phone numbers and websites for each member of Iowa’s delegation.

“Hi, my name is [Name] and I'm a constituent of [Senator/Representative _____ ] from [City]. I'm calling to ask [Senator/Representative _____ ] to [make your ask clear, concise and respectful]."
