Advocacy is not politics but a way to influence politics.
Elected officials at every level want to hear and learn from their constituents. Your personal story and experience help them to best represent you and the people and businesses of your community in the legislative process.
While appointments in Washington, DC, district offices, or your state capitol may not be possible, you can reach most elected officials through inquiry forms on their websites or by sending a letter.
