Question: Does Paul have a regular email address so that I can send email messages directly?
Answer:    Due to the extremely high volume of emails received from individuals worldwide, a regular email address would make it extremely difficult for Paul to identify and respond to the constituents he represents in a timely manner.

Question: Does Paul accept emails from people outside of 1st Congressional District (in other words, people he does not represent in Congress)?
Answer:    Paul can only respond to emails received from residents of the 1st District.  While Paul takes into consideration all of the views expressed to his office, those living outside of Wisconsin's 1st District will be referred to the Member of Congress who represents them.

 

 

Question: Does Paul respond to individuals expressing their views through online email services like Vote.com?
Answer:    No.  Such online services generally do not require individuals to provide more than an email address, which is not sufficient to identify them as residents of the 1st District.  As not all emails can be responded to via email, sufficient contact information must be provided for Paul to respond via U.S. mail, fax or phone.
