Find & Contact Your Government Representatives

Your Voice Matters

Don't wait until a bill is about to become law to make your voice heard.

Use the official government resources below to find the elected officials who represent you, including your U.S. Representative, U.S. Senators, California State Assemblymember, California State Senator, and local government officials.

Knowing who represents you makes it easier to call, email, write, and speak up about legislation that affects you.

 Find Your U.S. Representative

Your member of the U.S. House of Representatives represents your congressional district in Washington, D.C.

Enter your ZIP code using the official U.S. House website:

🔎 FIND MY U.S. REPRESENTATIVE

https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative

Your ZIP code may cross more than one congressional district, so you may be asked to enter your full address.

 Find Your U.S. Senators

Every state has two U.S. Senators.

Use the official U.S. Senate directory to find your state's senators and their contact information.

🐻 California Residents

A lot of the legislation covered on Scotties Hobbies begins in the California State Legislature.

If you want your opinion heard on a California bill, two of the most important people to know are:

Your California State Assemblymember

and

Your California State Senator

 Find Your California State Representatives

The California Legislature has an official address lookup that will tell you which Assemblymember and State Senator represent your address.

🔎 FIND MY CALIFORNIA REPRESENTATIVES

Find Your Local Government Officials

Local government decisions can be just as important as decisions made in Sacramento or Washington.

Depending on where you live, you may be represented by:

➤ Mayor

➤ City Councilmember

➤ County Supervisor

➤ County Executive

➤ School Board Members

➤ Other city, county, and local officials

📞 Found Your Representative? Contact Them!

Finding them is only step one.

If there is legislation you care about, tell them.

You can:

📞 Call their office

📧 Send an email

📝 Submit a comment through their website

✉️ Send a letter

🏛️ Contact their district office

You don't need to write a novel.

Something as simple as:

“Hello, my name is [NAME], and I live in [CITY]. I am one of your constituents. I am contacting you regarding [BILL NUMBER]. I am asking you to vote [YES/NO] on this bill because [SHORT REASON]. Thank you for representing our district.”

can make your position clear.

Don't Wait Until It's Too Late

One of the reasons I cover legislation on Scotties Hobbies is so we can catch these bills while there's still time for people to get involved.

Once a bill has passed both houses and is sitting on the Governor's or President's desk, many of the opportunities to influence it have already passed.

That's why I'll continue watching legislation involving:

🚗 Cars and trucks
🔧 Automotive repair
💨 Emissions and smog laws
🏁 Aftermarket performance parts
🛻 Off-road vehicles
⛽ Fuel and energy policy
💰 Vehicle taxes and fees
🛣️ Transportation policy

When I find something worth watching, I'll let you know what the bill does, where it is in the process, and when it's time to start making phone calls.
