Contacting Your Representative

INDIANAPOLIS (Indiana's NewsCenter) - Contacting your state representatives and senators can be a challenge but there are three easy ways of contacting them.


  • Call toll free at 1-800-382-9841. If you phone the statehouse, ask to speak to the representative’s legislative assistant.

  • Write them at the Statehouse, 200 W. Washington St., Indianapolis, IN 46204.

  • Send them an e-mail. Members of the House have e-mail addresses based on their House district numbers. For example, I serve District 85, so my e-mail address is h85@in.gov.



    • These are the state representatives for Northeast Indiana:

    The 21 committees are Agriculture and Rural Development; Commerce, Energy and Technology Utilities; Education; Elections and Apportionment; Environmental Affairs; Family, Children and Human Affairs; Financial Institutions; Government and Regulatory Reform; Insurance; Judiciary; Labor and Employment; Local Government; Natural Resources; Public Health; Public Policy; Roads and Transportation; Rules and Legislative Procedures; Small Business and Economic Development; Veterans Affairs and Public Safety; and Ways and Means.
