Need info on Senate and House for novel

[adigal]

I have been working on a novel about a woman who is elected to Congress, and will be appointed to take over for a female senator who is running for and will win the presidency (Guess who???!!!???)

I need info on where the Congresspersons' offices are located in Washington DC, where the Senators' offices are, how many aides work for them, is there a head of PR for them, the hours they work, and what a hip woman senator who is not married would do after "work." If you have any info, I would be thankful for your help, or if you know where I could find this info, just a shove in that direction would be appreciated.

Thanks very much in advance!

1. Before you write your novel,

you might want to educate yourself about how government works. That you don't know where Congressional offices are located is a good indicator that you need to learn a whole lot more about the processes within the government, and then you'll have a nice, solid foundation on which to build your story.

By the way, I think you're going up a strange alley with having a Congressman appointed to fill a Senatorial seat. I'm not sure any party would give up a Congressional seat to fill a Senate vacancy. So, check that out, too.

Best of luck to you.

2. Thanks - I know how the govt works

I understand a lot of the rules and regulations and the roles everyone plays, but I was never interested in the details, which I am learning now before I get started. Also, the focus of this novel is not going to be the senator's career, that is just an aside, but I want to get the details correct.

Do you know any of this??

Thanks,
