New Mexico’s senior U.S. senator is now actively using Facebook, YouTube and iTunes to reach out to constituents and others.
Democrat Jeff Bingaman has unveiled a newly updated Facebook page and a YouTube channel. On YouTube you’ll find his podcasts and “policycasts,” which are also available on iTunes.
According to Bingaman’s Facebook page, you can e-mail a policy question to webcomments@bingaman.senate.gov, “and I might answer it in a future segment.”
“Digital media is constantly changing, and I look forward to experimenting with it more in the future,” Bingaman wrote in a note on his government Web site. “I’ll keep you posted here and on my other homes on the web.”
This is a great way to reach out, especially to younger generations. Thanks to the New Mexico Independent for pointing out Bingaman’s new Internet presence.
