The West Virginia Legislature’s Information Packet has been updated for the 79th Legislature and is now available online. This packet is a comprehensive reference tool for any citizen or Capitol visitor interested in state government and contains maps of the Capitol which include room numbers for all legislators; seating charts for the Senate and House Chambers; Senate, House and Congressional district maps; members photographs, contact information and committee assignments for all members of the Legislature; and, phone numbers and addresses for Congressional representatives. Also included are helpful toll-free telephone numbers and website addresses for state agencies, colleges and universities.
This publication is one of many the Legislature’s Office of Reference and Information produces for the goal of furthering civic education and fostering collaboration between elected officials and the citizenry. As Thomas Jefferson is quoted as saying, “the best defense of Democracy is an informed electorate”.
