At a Glance
You have one state senator and one or more state representatives, set by the town or city ward you live in. Find them by your town here: each member’s page gives the email address and phone number they list with the General Court. Say where you live, name the bill by its number, say how you want them to vote, and send it before the vote.
- Find who represents your town: one senator, and one or more representatives.
- Choose email or a call. Senators list an office in Concord; most representatives list an email address.
- Say where you live, name the bill, and say how you want them to vote, before the vote.
Step by Step
Find who represents you
Every town and city ward is in one of 24 Senate districts, each electing one senator, and in a House district, which may elect several representatives. Some are also in a floterial district laid over their own, which elects more. Choose your town to see them all.
Find how to reach them
A member’s page here, and your town’s page, give the email address and phone number the member lists with the General Court. Senators list an office in Concord with its phone number. Most representatives list an email address, and many a phone number. To write to every member of a committee at once, use the button on the committee’s page.
Choose email or a call
Email reaches nearly every member, gives them your words exactly, and can go to a whole committee at once. A call is quicker when a vote is close, to a member who lists a number. Either way, keep to one bill.
Say what you are asking
- Say where you live. Each member represents the towns and wards of a district, so your town tells them you are a constituent.
- Name the bill by its number, HB or SB and then the number.
- Say how you want them to vote. The chamber votes on its committee’s recommendation, such as Ought to Pass or Inexpedient to Legislate.
- Say why, in a few sentences, from what it would mean for you or your town.
Send it before the vote
Write to a committee before its executive session, where it votes on its recommendation, and to your own members before the vote of the full House or Senate. Each chamber’s calendar lists the committee meetings and prints the committees’ reports on the bills coming to a vote.
