Talking to them assumes that they actually show up where the public can get at them. From experience, the only times my “representatives” appear in their districts have been either invitation-only fundraisers or prepared-speech events with no provision for anyone but the Great Man Himself allowed to say a word.
There are websites that let you search for “town hall” events for your State or District – I looked for years for Schweikert to have a “town hall” that wasn’t invitation-only. McCain, of course, basically flew from Sky Harbor to his wife’s ranch.
