WRITING TO YOUR ELECTED REPRESENTATIVES
WRITING YOUR REPRESENTATIVES IN GOVERNMENT
As a voter, your opinion helps determine how your elected officials vote on policy decisions. A card, letter, or e-mail is suitable to convey your views. Be brief and to the point. State who you are and give your reasons for believing as you do. Sign your name and address legibly.
To find contact information for representatives, go to the city,county, state, and/or national elections page(s) on this webpage/guide.
Remember: Straightforward, sincere messages win the interest and respect of your Legislators. They are eager to hear from constituents who have something to contribute to the welfare of the state.
Some common sense “Don’ts”:
· Don’t sign and send a form letter
· Don’t be rude or threatening.
· Don’t be vague
Do write when your legislator does something that you appreciate. Your note of appreciation will help your Legislator remember you favorably the next time you write.
