I don't think it would hurt to try. What you might want to do is call their office, and they will direct you to a privacy form that can be found on your senator's website. Fill it out and fax it back, and then you should be assigned a case worker. I called my two senators and they said it would be 3 weeks before I was assigned someone. Then I called the representative from my district and was assigned someone within a day.

Thanks for the reply,

I just went on his website and printed out the privacy form, filled it out, and attached it to the letter..

It says on his website that I just need to send him these to his office in which he provided the address on his website..

Do I still need to contact the local office or should I just send it and wait for a reply?

Do not just write to your senator. Look up his website, and there you will find a release of information form which has to be filled out and emailed/faxed to his office. Follow that up with a phone call. That should help.

It says on his website that I should send the release of information to him with the letter so I filled it out and put that in the envelope as well.. Should I email it to his office also?

You can always scan the release of information and email it to his office. I prefer email/fax to snail mail as it gets there faster.
