SOUND OFF!
Contact Your Elected Officials
Calls, e-mails and letters to your elected officials often do make a difference. It’s important for public officials to know
how the people feel about important issues and votes.
It’s vital for citizens to let our elected members know that we are keeping an eye on how they vote – and will hold them
accountable at election time if they ignore the will of the people!
When contacting your officials, your efforts are most apt to be successful if you are polite, keep comments brief, include
a bill number if you can, and include a pertinent example (for instance, “Please support increased funding to treat
traumatic brain injuries so we can help people like my cousin, Joe, an Iraq war veteran who is not receiving state-of-the-
art treatments that could help him recover.”)
Be aware that letters mailed to Congress or the U.S. Senate can be delayed weeks or even months because of screening
mail for Anthrax. So it’s best to contact your federal officials by e-mail, phone, or fax. Be sure to mention that you are a
constituent who lives in his or her district.
Below are listings for your U.S. Senators, Congressional representatives, State Legislators, and Supervisor.
To find out who your other local elected officials are (such as school board or city council members), just type in your
address at this site from the San Diego County Registrar of Voters: http://170.213.238.101/rov/Eng/Edistrict_query.asp.
