State legislators receive many requests. It is best to follow up your request with a phone call a few days after you have submitted a request through the web form. The phone number for each state legislator is listed under “contact us” on their web site. Jot it down for future reference when you are directed to legislator web sites. This makes follow up easier a few days after you have submitted your request.
