Bingaman uses the Internet to reach out

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.
