Who are My State and local Representatives

Australians are represented by three levels of government: Federal, State and Local Governments. They all have different responsibilities so you will need to direct your advocacy at the right level. For more information on this see our help sheet: Government relations - local, state and federal.

Below we have provided a state-by-state break down of links to your representatives at the Federal, State and Local levels so that you can be more effective in your campaigning.

Not sure of your congressional district or who your member is? This service will assist you by matching your ZIP code to your congressional district, with links to your member's website and contact page.

Please review the frequently asked questions if you have problems using this service.

The Find Your Representative feature provides Congressional District information for the current Congress, and the Representative currently serving that Congressional District for the duration of the current Congress, which ends on January 2, 2023.

Many Congressional District boundaries were re-drawn based on the results of the 2020 Census to accommodate population changes. Updates to these district boundaries may have changed what district you vote(d) in during 2022 primary and general elections, but will not change your present Congressional district until these changes go into effect at the start of the new Congress in January 2023.

The Find Your Representative feature provides Congressional District information for the current Congress, and the Representative currently serving that Congressional District for the duration of the current Congress, which ends on January 2, 2023.

The winner of a Congressional election does not represent the constituency to which they were elected until officially recognized by the House of Representatives as an active Member of Congress, with the exception of Special Elections held to replace vacancies. Winners of November general elections for a Congressional seat will not become official Members until they are sworn in at the start of the new Congress in January.

There is no central listing of member office public e-mail addresses. Each member of Congress establishes their office's policy related to the processing and management of e-mail. Generally, if a member has a public e-mail address, it can be found on the member's website. The office may list a public e-mail address or provide a form directly on the member's website. The U.S. House of Representatives does not provide a listing of public e-mail addresses for the elected Representatives.

The Find Your Representative service matches the ZIP code information you provide with a list of congressional districts. If you receive an error due to a missing ZIP code or incorrect member information, please use the Contact Webmaster form to report the problem. Select the appropriate error category (Report an error in the Find Your Representative service.) and provide as much information as possible to assist us in researching the problem. Please be sure to include: Your Street Address, City, State and ZIP code, the member or congressional district information you are trying to reach and the member or congressional district the service is reporting that you feel is in error.

No. The webmaster will not forward messages to congressional offices. If you are having problems contacting your representative, you can report the problem using the Contact Webmaster form, write or call your elected representative, or visit the member's website for alternate contact information.

In addition, you may choose to visit your member's website directly for further information.

There are several correct forms of address for a member of Congress including "The Honorable" and "Representative".

The Find Your Representative service is provided as a public resource for identifying and contacting a constituent's elected representative.
