Good to know
- Mail to Washington offices is screened before delivery, which can add weeks. A district or state office usually receives it sooner.
- Include your full street address in the letter. Offices check that you live in their district before they reply.
- Personal letters carry more weight than form letters. Write in your own words, even if it is short.
- Mail by Pony is a mailing service and takes no political position.
Questions
Do members of Congress read paper letters?
Staff read and log constituent mail, and many offices answer it by mail. A personal letter from someone in the district counts more than a form letter.
Should I write to the Washington office or the local office?
Either works. Washington mail is screened offsite and can take weeks longer, so a district or state office is often faster.
Can I send the same letter to all three of my members?
Yes. Make one letter per office so each envelope is addressed to the right person.
Can I write to my state legislator, governor or city council?
Yes. Find the office address on your state or city website and address the letter to that office.
