- Write to your own legislators first. Find them by address on our representatives page.
- Put the bill number in the subject line, for example “HF 68”.
- Say who you are: your name, your street address, and your connection to the issue (parent, teacher, school board member, taxpayer).
- Say what you want them to do: vote yes, vote no, or amend a specific part.
- Give one reason from your own experience. Keep it under 200 words.
- Be courteous, and thank them if they vote your way.
Email reaches legislators fastest during the session. Calls to the Capitol switchboard are logged too. Between sessions, local forums and town halls are the best place to talk in person.
