Email your elected officials!

The best way to advocate for change is to communicate directly with your lawmakers. We’ve made it easier for you by creating a few sample letters for you to customize and send. Simply enter your name and address and the email will be sent to the appropriate elected official (NCGA or US Congress). Click on a topic below to get started. 

Legislator Contact Information

Legislators represent you and your community. Knowing who your elected officials are will enable you to reach out and share your ideas and opinions with people who make our state’s laws. The North Carolina General Assembly website has information on your state representative and senator. Each member’s page contains contact information, member committee assignments, and member employment information. If you’re not sure who represents you, you can find your legislators on the site. If you prefer to contact a legislator by phone, you can call 919-733-4111 and request to speak to a member of the General Assembly. 

See the spreadsheets below for a list of all legislators and their contact information.

County Commissioners Contact Information

NC counties are legal entities with powers dictated by North Carolina General Statute 153A-12. In NC, commissioners establish the property tax rate, regulate land use and zoning outside municipal jurisdictions, and adopt an annual budget every year that includes operating budget and capital funds for public schools. For an overview of how boards of county commissioners operate go to https://www.ncpedia.org/government/local/commissioners.  

The NC Association of County Commissioners’ website includes a tool that takes you to each county’s government page where you can find updated information on your county commissioners. Scroll down to the state map and click on your county to find your commissioners.
