Elected Officials and Information Sources
Communicating with State and National Legislators
● For security reasons, most elected officials now prefer to communicate by e-mail.
● Compose e-mail messages as you would a letter, re-reading and editing the
message before sending it.
● In your own words, state your reasons for being for or against a particular bill, action,
or decision. Refer to a bill by its number or popular name.
● Be objective, brief, and courteous.
● Include your name and address to confirm that you are a constituent.
