As an active member of the U.S. electorate, you may want to contact your senator to express your opinion on pending legislation or share your viewpoint on a recent event. To address a senator, use official titles and a respectful tone. Follow similar protocol when talking to a senator in person, unless the senator tells you to address them differently.
