Use their title, such as Senator, Congressman/Congresswoman or Representative followed by their last name.

Should a comma be used before Jr and Sr in a person's name?
Yes. Example: "Martin Luther King, Jr."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the name is written in the usual order (e.g., "Martin Luther King Jr."), you may or may not use the comma, depending on your personal preference. But if you're writing for a publication, it will depend on the house style of that publisher.
If the name is written in the reverse order (e.g., "King, Martin Luther, Jr."), in alphabetical lists, for example, use the comma.
Although Jr., Sr., etc., are sometimes regarded as parenthetic, they are part of the legal name and should not be set off with commas.
Examples:
John Wilson Jr.
Bob Jones Sr.
James Stowers III
Eldest first if known, or alphabetically, Mr J and Mr T Smith.

When and where it is 'protocol' to address a former elected official by his/her highest-achieved title, it will always be appropriate (as an observance of protocol and, even more, as a sign of respect) to address that official in written correspondence by that same title. Whether it is necessary depends on the particular circumstances of the context of the correspondence; for example, where the official and the correspondent are on familiar terms, there is no need to make use of the official's highest-achieved title.

What is a good rule of thumb for using apostrophe's to show possession versus action?
The apostrophe is generally used to show possession or a contraction. Example 1: "Melissa broke her brother'sskateboard." In this sentence we can see that the apostrophe is used to tell us that the skateboard Melissa broke belongs to her brother. Hence, the apostrophe is used to show possession. Example 2: "Melissa thinks that her brother's a jerk." In this sentence we can see that the apostrophe is used to contract or shorten "brother is." Hence, the apostrophe is used to show a contraction. Other, more common contractions, such as "isn't" (is not) and "don't" (do not) are formed similarly. The best way to decide the proper use of an apostrophe is to know what it is you are writing about. Ask yourself, "Am I writing about a thing that belongs to someone, or am I trying to shorten two words into one?"
