How to Contact Your Legislator

Engaging with your elected officials is crucial for influencing healthcare policies and decisions.

Use the following resources to find and contact your representatives:

• Members of Congress: Discover your federal representatives and their contact details at www.house.gov.

• Florida Representatives: For state matters, find your Florida House representative and their contact information at www.myfloridahouse.gov.

• Florida Senators: Learn about your state senators and how to reach them at www.flsenate.gov/legislators/index.
