How to Contact a New York Senator

1. Call the Washington, D.C. Office

Calling is the most effective way to make your voice heard. Senate offices track call volume by issue, and a high volume of calls on a specific topic directly influences a senator’s staff. Call during business hours (9 a.m.–5 p.m. ET, Monday–Friday) for the fastest response.

• Chuck Schumer: (202) 224-6542
• Kirsten Gillibrand: (202) 224-4451

2. Use the Online Contact Form

Each senator maintains an official contact form on their Senate website. These forms are monitored by constituent services staff and are the preferred channel for detailed written messages.

• Chuck Schumer: schumer.senate.gov/contact/email-chuck
• Kirsten Gillibrand: gillibrand.senate.gov/contact/

3. Write a Letter

Written letters carry significant weight, particularly on legislative issues. Address your letter to the senator’s Washington, D.C. office. All mail to Senate offices passes through a security screening facility, which may add several days to delivery time.

• Senator Chuck Schumer, 322 Hart Senate Office Building, Washington, D.C. 20510
• Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, 478 Russell Senate Office Building, Washington, D.C. 20510

4. Visit a State Office

Both senators maintain district offices across New York. State offices handle casework — including issues with federal agencies such as the Social Security Administration, Veterans Affairs, and immigration services. Visit each senator’s official website for a full list of New York office locations and hours.
