Can a Friends group invite a current U.S. Senator or Representative to their refuge near an election?
A. Yes. The Friends may invite your elected officials to your refuge at any time, even near an election where they are on the ballot. However, you may not pay for their travel and some rules apply regarding meals although if your event is in state and will have more than 5 constituents, a member of Congress may accept the meal as a gift. If you have specific questions, please contact NWRA directly.
