I’ve written and called Sen. Mitt Romney and received substantive replies, agreeing or disagreeing. I’ve written and called Sen. Mike Lee and received acknowledgements.
I’ve called Rep. Chris Stewart and received “Rep. Stewart is not available; mailbox is full.”
I’m sure there are many demands on a representative’s time, but constituents are apparently not Stewart’s priority.
