Contacting Your Legislator
As a citizen of the Commonwealth of Virginia, one of your greatest responsibilities is to help elect the legislators
who represent all Virginians. There are a number of online resources available on the Virginia General Assembly website
to assist you in taking an active role in the legislative process:
Know who your legislators are and how to contact
them. If you don't know who represents you, you
can find out by using Who's
My Legislator. In addition, a biographical page on each delegate and senator is available
from the General Assembly's homepage.
Contact your representative about a particular issue before the Legislature takes action on it.
Using the Legislative Information System, you can track
legislation and review committee agendas prior to a meeting.
You can even testify
before committees on issues important to you.
