Contacting Your Legislator
Oregon legislators are in regular session starting in
January of every odd-numbered year.
They are scheduled to meet for 6 months.
In recent years, partisan battles and budget problems have led to increasingly lengthy sessions, and additional special sessions.
When the Legislature is in session you can contact your
legislator through the citizen comment line 800-332-2313 (outside Salem) or
986-1187 (within Salem).
Write your legislators at 900 Court St. NE, Salem, OR 97301.
Find out who represents you. Visit www.olcv.org/findleg, call your county elections office (in the blue pages of the phone book), or call OLCV at 503-224-4011.
