How do I schedule a meeting with my Senators and Representative in their state or local district offices?
You should make a call to your legislator’s state or district office and request a meeting. If you are making an appointment back home, you will probably be scheduled for a meeting at the beginning or end of the week, when your Senators and Representatives are working in the state or district. Most state and district offices have a scheduler who handles the legislator’s calendar, and you should ask to speak to that person. In some cases, you may be asked to speak to a scheduler in Washington, DC who might handle state or district appointments as well as DC appointments. If the Senator or Representative is not available, you will be scheduled to see a staffer. You should not resist making an appointment with a staffer, as you can trust that your views will be passed on to the Senator or Representative. Because you live close by, you can try again for a meeting with the Senator or Representative. Although the staffers in the district or state office generally are not legislative staffers
