Setting up a meeting with your legislators
You must schedule a specific time to meet in advance; you can reserve an appointment by emailing or phoning their legislative office. When meeting with your legislators in Frankfort, plan to arrive in plenty of time before your meeting since parking can be a challenge. We recommend that you park in the Capitol garage. There is no charge for parking. You will enter the Capitol Annex through the main front doors and will need to show a photo ID.
