How to engage with the legislature

The fall session of the House of Representatives is just around the corner, with legislators scheduled to return to Springfield on October 14. Illinois residents can make their voices heard during the legislative process.

Communicating with legislators is one way residents can get involved and stay engaged on current issues pending before the legislature. State lawmakers offer email addresses, district and Springfield office locations, office numbers, and surveys that residents can utilize. In both district and Springfield offices, legislators have dedicated staff that field calls, emails, and meetings with residents to provide critical real-time feedback to elected officials.
