Addressing Political Officials

If you know me, you know I am not terribly political at all!  But it is an election year and with so many hot topics on the table, I imagine some of you may be contacting your local congressmen and women or state senators.  Whenever people hold elected office, there are specific ways to address them and I thought I would share some examples.  This way you will know your letter gets to the right place and is in line with proper etiquette too!

If addressing a member of the House of Representatives:

The Honorable David {Donna} Jones

United States House of Representatives

House Office Building

Washington, D.C. 20515

United States Senator:

The Honorable John {Jane} Smith

United States Senate

Washington, D.C. 20510
