How to address mail to state representatives
When addressing mail to state representatives, you should use the following format:
House of Representatives:
- Representative [Last Name]
- [State] House of Representatives
- [State Capitol Building Address]
- [City, State, ZIP]
Example:
- Representative Smith
- California State Assembly
- 1020 N Street
- Sacramento, CA 95814
Senate:
- Senator [Last Name]
- [State] Senate
- [State Capitol Building Address]
- [City, State, ZIP]
Example:
- Senator Johnson
- California State Senate
- 1020 N Street
- Sacramento, CA 95814
Additional Tips:
- Make sure to use the correct title (Representative or Senator) and last name of the state representative.
- Use the state's official abbreviation (e.g., CA for California) instead of the full state name.
- Include the state capital building address, which is usually the same for both the House and Senate.
- Use the correct city and ZIP code for the state capital.
- If you're unsure about the correct address or representative, you can check the official website of the state legislature or contact the state's legislative information office.
