E-mail Congressional Staff

Capitol Messenger is a user-friendly online tool designed to give government relations professionals easy, instant and accurate email communication to congressional staff.

Integrated with our comprehensive web-based database, Capitol Messenger means that you no longer have to flip through directories to connect with an elected official’s staffer. Capitol Messenger enables you to increase your legislative influence with key decision makers. 

TARGETED OUTREACH CAPABILITIES

• Create Targeted E-mails: Capitol Messenger delivers your legislative message to key congressional staff, quickly influencing the legislative process. You can segment your audience by criteria: staff issue jurisdiction, committee, subcommittee, caucus, delegation, party, vote, bill co-sponsorship, leadership, occupation, college attended, election margin, next election.

• Varied Formats: Whether created in HTML or text-only formats, Capitol Messenger is designed to conform to the security protocols established by the House and Senate to increase delivery.

ENHANCED COMMUNICATIONS MANAGEMENT

• Add Attachments to E-mail Messages: Upload PDF, Microsoft Word, and even video and audio files into your tailored Capitol Messenger e-mails.

• Use Graphic Elements: Add your organization’s logo to effectively brand your e-mail and other communications. Use Capitol Messenger’s standard formatting tools (bold, underline, font type, font size) and create hyperlinks to visually enhance your e-mail messages.

• Customize Your Message: Personalization is available for each subject line and message, similar to a mail merge function, giving each recipient a unique message tailored to him or her. This includes recipient’s first name, Member of Congress’ name, and Member of Congress’ state and district.

DEFINED AND MEASURABLE OUTCOMES

• Schedule Time for Delivery: Flag specific dates and times to export your messages and to maximize open rates.

• Track Open and Click-Through Rates: Capitol Messenger reports the total number of recipients who open a message, an attachment and a link. Use these reports to evaluate your strategy and enhance your future messages.
