How To Contact Your Wyoming Representatives and Senators
I was talking to a friend about currents events, politics, and government. They were at a loss as to what to do, wondering if there was anything that a person could do.
There are things that the average citizen, AKA, we the people, can do to effect change in the United States. The first is voting, that s the obvious one. The other is contacting your elected representatives.
Whether you voted for the person in office or not, their job is to represent you. So, don t be shy about telling them what you think. An email or a phone call to the people that work on our behalf in the statehouse and Washington D.C. can help immensely.
