The Ten Who Kept Their DC Fax Line

These are the only members of the 119th Congress with a fax number listed at their Washington, DC office. Everyone else — both parties, both chambers — has abandoned the machine.

State Legislatures

California Is the Outlier

Both chambers of the California Legislature use predictable, sequential Capitol fax numbers — Assembly: (916) 319-21XX and Senate: (916) 651-49XX, where XX is the zero-padded district number (01–80 and 01–40, respectively). Every published fax number matched the pattern exactly during verification. This gives 120 out of 120 (100%) California state legislators with a computable Capitol fax number.

No other target state has an algorithmic fax pattern. Texas Senate has patterned phone numbers, but fax numbers are non-patterned. Every non-California state below is a gap.

Why This Matters

The Statute The Project Exists to Oppose

AB 1043 passed the California Legislature 76-0 in the Assembly and 38-0 in the Senate. Not a single legislator voted no. Every person at the Capitol who had the chance to slow the bill down decided it was fine. Every single one.

If your state legislator represents part of California, we have a Capitol fax number for them. There is no technical reason you cannot send them a fax about AB 1043 before January 1, 2027. The Fax Your Rep form assembles the message. The Capitol fax machine picks up, every time, 9-to-5 Pacific.

If your federal representative does not have a DC fax number, that is a choice they made — one that every other legislator on the list above also made, and that the project interprets as a preference for contact-form filtering. Send to their district office fax if they have one, or use the ffwf.net contact form and we will help route it. If they do not have any fax number, consider that data point. The statute they vote on requires a real-time age-verification API on every operating system in the state. The office they run cannot maintain a fax line.
