CONTACT LEGISLATOR­S

-

Find yours

Use the secretary of state’s poll locator service to identify your House and Senate districts and who represents you: http://www. mvp.sos.ga.gov/MVP/mvp.do.

In person

Look for lawmakers in the House or Senate chamber or in their offices. You can find your legislator­s’ phone numbers and office locations on the General Assembly’s website: www.legis. ga.gov

When the Legislatur­e is in session, volunteer pages (usually schoolchil­dren) will carry messages to legislator­s in the chambers.

The public is not allowed on the House or Senate floor while in session.

Legislator­s often will leave the chamber to meet with voters, especially their constituen­ts. Page desks are directly in front of the main doors leading to both chambers on the third floor of the Capitol.

Top lawmakers’ offices are in the Capitol. The rest are across Mitchell Street (officially known as Capitol Square) in the Coverdell Legislativ­e Office Building. Be prepared to pass through metal detectors in both buildings.

Online

The General Assembly’s home page (www.legis.ga.gov) links to House and Senate members by name and district. The directory lists the legislator’s office phone and email. Some legislator­s also list home addresses and district phone numbers.
