Get the ball rolling in D.C.

In the months ahead, your elected officials at the local and state levels of government are certain to spend time discussing issues of significance to your trucking business. The same applies for your federal lawmakers.

With the second session of the 117th U.S. Congress convening in January, legislators in Washington, D.C., are already hard at work. Do not delay in getting things tipped off and starting the communication process with them.

Congressional phone number
The Capitol switchboard operator at 202-224-3121 is a great place to start. The operator will transfer you to your representative or senator’s office. All you need to do is provide
the operator your home ZIP code.

You can also reach out to your legislators at their district offices. The district offices are their home base when they are not in D.C. Contact information can be found on their congressional website, on their social media page, and internet search engines.

Congressional addresses
Two mailing addresses are all you need to send correspondence to your U.S. representative and senators.

For Senators:
Office of Sen. (Name)
U.S. Senate
Washington, D.C. 20510

For Representatives:
Office of Rep. (Name)
U.S. House of Representatives
Washington, D.C. 20515

There is no need to concern yourself with what building their office is in or their room number. The only thing you need is the correct ZIP code and your letter will get there.

To communicate electronically, some representatives and senators provide email addresses while others make available comment forms on their websites. LL
