Senate: Credentialed members of the media are allowed access to the press galleries – which are designated areas on the Senate floor. No interviews are to be conducted on the Senate floor and Senate Press Office Staff are available to ask senators if they are interested in being interviewed, as media access is restricted to the back press area.

No interviews are to be conducted on the House floor.
