Legislative Action
To email your State Senator or Representative, follow these directions:
Instruction #1 is for emailing your own legislators using your home address/zip code in our legislative action center.
Instruction #2 is for emailing legislators who are not your own legislators.
Instruction #1: EMAIL YOUR OWN LEGISLATOR BASED ON YOUR HOME ADDRESS:
- Click here and a new window will open. You will be in the Colorado Legislative Action Center. Scroll down to the address blanks.
- Enter your street address. Spell out words like Street, Drive, Circle, East, North, etc. Click "Go."
- The names of your State Senator and State Representative will appear as links on the right side of the page.Be sure you select STATE legislators, not U.S. Congressman or U.S. Senators, if you are e-mailing about a bill in the Colorado (State) Legislature. For example, if you are emailing about a Colorado legislative issue, do not mail to U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet or U.S. Sen. Mark Udall, or U.S. Reps. DeGette, Polis, Tipton, Gardner, Lamborn, Coffman, or Perlmutter. They cannot vote on Colorado legislative issues, only on issues before Congress.
- If you click on these links, you'll get information about each legislator and you can send them messages through the red "Send message" box under their photos, or through the email link to the right of their photos.
- Specify in the Subject what you want done: Vote Yes on Bill # or Vote No on Bill #.
- Write your message in complete sentences in a more formal way than you would send an email to a friend or relative.
- Check grammar and spelling. Use the Spell-Check feature. You can write your message in Word or Notepad and copy-paste it in the Message, if that's easier. "Sign" your full name. Preview your message before sending it.
Instruction #2: EMAIL A LEGISLATOR WHO IS NOT YOUR OWN STATE SENATOR OR REPRESENTATIVE:

If the legislator does not have email, write down the Capitol Phone Number so you can call and leave a voice mail message instead. Only a few legislators don't have email.
