Need to find your own congressional rep? https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative
Not in North Carolina? use this Senate page to search for your state & find your Senators

Remember that STATE & LOCAL issues matter very much too!
Here’s how to find and contact your representation in Raleigh: https://www.ncleg.gov/FindYourLegislators
If you’re outside North Carolina, Google for “find my representative” til you find your state’s equivalent directory. Skip the drama of searching after that initial time: save each individual member into your phone (When I save ’em, I use a “govt” prefix so they all show up in the same place in my contacts list).

Fun fact: Our North Carolina General Assembly (NCGA) publishes a House Seating Chart as well as a Senate Members List showing face & county (be alert that reps can span multiple counties and a single county can be split among multiple reps).

Notes from red-state real-life: Calling Republican lawmakers’ office these days can feel futile, since our messages often create precious little response, and yet it’s still super important. Staffers log calls. Advisors watch constituent tallies on hot topics. We’ve gotta keep calling these ruby red reps and senators, letting them know we’re out here watching and caring and voting. We can be smart about it. There’s no point telling a long story to an answering machine. Succintly share your “pro” or “con” on the issue at hand. Leave whatever contact info they require; usually it’s to prove you’re an actual constituent. If a staffer answers, always be courteous. We may disagree pretty intensely, and that’s okay. Getting your opinion logged is more important than trying to “convince” someone whose literal job is supporting a legislator diametrically opposed to your point of view. This is not a moment to strive for conversion. They’re typically not empowered to say anything other than their principal’s stated position anyway. Save your breath. I always thank them for their time (unless they’ve actually been bratty, which occasionally happens and I wish them well anyway. Being rude back rarely confers an advantage in these kinds of conversations!).
Keep writing/calling, Keep the faith, and Keep in touch.
