How to Address a North Carolina Senator by Email
As a member of Congress, a North Carolina Senator has the influential power to change the laws of this land. It is your vote that put him in office. He is not there to represent himself, but to represent the individuals in his congressional district. For this reason, there are protocols in place that allow you to communicate your thoughts and ideas about public policy and legislative concerns. North Carolina, like all states, has two senators. You can reach your senator by phone, mail or electronically. Email is typically the most effective way to reach a senator.
