Legislators by Phone
A legislator’s office phone number can be found in their official bios on the House and Senate websites. Lawmakers and office staff monitor these lines.
Legislators by Email
A legislator’s email address follows a formulaic system.
For Representatives, the format is rep##@ohiohouse.gov. The ## is the two-digit district code they represent, so the Representative from Ohio House District 1’s email is rep01@ohiohouse.gov.
For Senators, the format is lastname@ohiosenate.gov so the email address for a Senator with the last name America is america@ohiosenate.gov
Legislators by Letter
A legislator’s physical mail address can be found in their official bios on the House and Senate websites. Legislators’ offices are in the Statehouse or the Vern Riffe building.
