Help reduce gun violence today:

Call your legislators

You are ready to take action to stop gun violence. Here's how to contact your federal legislators and make your voice heard.

Oregon's Senators are:

  • Senator Ron Wyden (503) 326-7525
  • Senator Jeff Merkley (503) 326-3386

Oregon's Representatives are:

  • Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (503) 469-6010
  • Rep. Cliff Bentz (541) 776-4646
  • Rep. Maxine Dexter (503) 231-2300
  • Rep. Val Hoyle (541) 465-6732
  • Rep. Janelle Bynum (503) 387-8651
  • Rep. Andrea Salinas (503) 385-0906

When you call, identify yourself as a constituent. If you are speaking with a staff member, be polite and ask the person's name. Chances are, you'll be speaking with that person again. Give a clear and simple message like "Please vote NO on Bill XYZ." Ask if you can be called back about the issue. If you are uncomfortable talking to a staff member, call after hours and leave a message. It still counts!
