Don’t know who represents you in the state House and Senate? We’re here to help you find the lawmakers who can help you with everything from cutting through bureaucratic red tape to getting a birth certificate.
In Pennsylvania, there are 203 state House seats and 50 Senate seats—yet only two of those lawmakers directly represent you.
Do you know who they are?
Don’t worry, many folks are hard-pressed to name their representatives in the state House and state Senate, despite the fact that these elected officials arguably have the most impact on the day-to-day life of Pennsylvanians.
Pennsylvania’s state legislators are crucial in determining what democracy will look like in the commonwealth. Issues like abortion, education, LGBTQ+ rights, racial equality, workers’ rights, elections, healthcare, voting rights, housing, gun control, criminal justice reform, and more are in their hands.
A big part of their job also involves serving constituents directly. So if you find yourself wrapped up in bureaucratic red tape or frustrated with the lack of attention to an issue, give them a call or send them an email.
With all 203 state House seats and 25 Senate seats up for election in Pennsylvania this November, now is a good time to learn the names of the people who answer directly to you, and how they can help you.
Who is My State Representative or State Senator?
There is an easy way to find out. Simply go online to the Pennsylvania General Assembly locator tool. You can search using your home address, or by county.
How Do I Contact My State Representative and Senator?
When you search the state general assembly locator tool using your address, you’ll get a list of the representative and senator who represent your district on the state and federal level.
