Identify & Write Your Local Elected Officials

Be knowledgeable about your local elections and find out who is running in your town.

We must demand harsher punishments for predators and laws to safeguard victims. It is imperative that we ALL do this to safeguard our children and elect leaders who will enforce justice to the highest extent possible for anyone stealing the innocence of our children.

TIPS FOR WRITING, SENDING AN EMAIL, OR CALLING A LEGISLATOR 

Writing a letter to a legislator:

  • Use the proper salutation, for example: 

                                The Honorable (first name) (last name) 

                                Address 

                                City, State, Zip code 

                                Dear (Assembly Member / Senator) (last name) 

  • Be courteous and informative in your communication. 
  • State the purpose of the letter in the opening sentence and if you are referring to a bill, include the bill number, author and topic. 
  • If you live in the elected official’s district be sure to say this in the opening paragraph. 
  • Personalize the letter by including examples of how the legislation might impact you and your family. 
  • Focus on the message and key points. 
  • Keep the letter brief – not more than one page. 
  • Restate your request at the end of the letter, for example urging them to support or oppose the bill. 
  • Thank the legislator for his or her support and offer to address any questions that they might have. 
  • Be sure to include your contact information and sign the letter. 

Sending an email to a legislator:

  • The same guidelines apply to email as to written letters. 
  • Before sending an email, you might want to call the legislator’s office and ask if a letter sent by e-mail is effective. 
  • If you do send an email, send it to the representative. Do not copy other representatives or send a mass email. 
  • Make it a brief message with no special layouts or graphics. 
  • Do not include attachments. 
  • Include your full name and address so it is clear that you are a constituent. 
  • Ask for a response. 
  • You might also want to send a hard copy of your e-mail to the legislator. 

Phone calls to a legislator:

  • State your name and address and identify yourself as the legislator’s constituent. 
  • You will often be speaking with a secretary or aide. Briefly make known your position as they keep track of the issues that people call about to report to the legislator. 
  • Have your thoughts organized in advance, which will help you to keep the call brief and to the point. 
  • It is also very helpful to share how the issue affects you personally. 
  • Thank them for their support.
