THEN 1, 2, 3 CONTACT YOUR OWN LEGISLATIVE REPRESENTATIVE
1) Go to the legislator location webiste by pressing the control key and clicking on www.nmlegis.gov/lcs/districts.aspx (or paste it in your browser)

2) Locate the district (number) you live in by clicking on either House Statewide Map or if in Albuquerque click on House Albuquerque Map. On the statewide map Santa Fe County is missing some district numbers. To find your SF click on the number 45, 46, 47, 48 instead of the SF Representative’s name to see a more detailed map or email nichoe@earthlink.net or call me at 505 660 6523 if you need help.

3) Then return to the previous page ß, click on your district number to find your Representative’s contact information and email and call them. It is important that you inform a legislator that s/he is your representative. You can also contact legislators whom you know or who are in your general area. This is true especially in the more rural areas of the state.

Calling might be quicker but emails allow you to say more if you can get them done TODAY, Thursday the 24th.

We are the top emailers in the legislature :o) Keep up the great work!
