Here’s How To Contact Your Local, State, And Federal Representatives

Like many Columbus residents, there’s a decent chance that you’re hoping to have your voice heard by our local, state, and federal leaders. Navigating the various websites and platforms can get a little overwhelming, so we’ve decided to compile the contact info here.

When it comes to advocating for causes on a local level, it’s not as popular as you might think. City councilmembers and other local elected officials aren’t getting the kind of citizen engagement as politicians at the federal level, which means that a cacophony of motivated and passionate citizens calling, emailing, and reaching out on social media has a much greater chance of making a difference.

Whenever you’re contacting your representatives, it’s important to have a plan. Personally, I like to write something out before I call in or just contact them via email so that my thoughts are clear and concise. One particular item you may want to touch on when calling in is to ask for the implementation of the Citizen’s Review board that was promised by Mayor Ginther in January.
