House of Representatives Contact Information

How Washington Actually Works For Dummies

You can gather information about your representative from his or her Web site, but if you need to contact another member or staffer of the House of Representatives, try the email formula below. Of course, you can always call or go the old-fashioned way and mail a letter. Here’s the House contact information you'll need:

The House of Representatives Web site: www.House.gov
Clerk of the House: www.clerk.house.gov
House e-mail addresses consist of the person’s first name and last name, separated by a dot, followed by @mail.house.gov. (Be aware that some people use nicknames and middle initials.)
