How to contact your representatives in Michigan

Your representatives work for you whether you voted for them or not. Here is how to find them and what to say.

• How do I find out who my representatives are in Michigan?Enter your home address at offorandbythepeople.com. Your address decides your congressional district, state Senate and House districts, county commission district, city or township, and school district.
• What is the best way to contact a legislator?A short phone call or a personal letter to the district or Lansing office. Give your name and address so staff can confirm you are a constituent, name the bill by number, say whether you support or oppose it, and give one reason in your own words.
• Does it matter if I did not vote for them?No. An elected official represents everyone in the district, and offices log contacts from constituents regardless of party.
• Should I call the Lansing office or the district office?For a bill that is about to be voted on, call the Lansing (or Washington) office. For help with a state or federal agency, call the district office.
• How do I contact my township board or city council?Call the township hall or city clerk, or speak during public comment at a regular meeting. Meeting dates are posted on the local government website.
• How do I contact my school board?Email or call the district office and ask that your message go to the board, or sign up for public comment at a board meeting.
