Join the LWVDV Action-Advocacy team on the legislative interview project in January. 

What is this about?

Every year, the League of Women Voters of California (LWVC) encourages local Leagues  to interview their state legislators or staff.  Legislative interviews are a powerful tool - increasing League visibility, gathering information, and raising awareness among California’s state representatives about our interest in policies they are considering. It’s a chance to emphasize that while the League never supports or opposes candidates or parties, we are a political organization, after thorough study and consensus we take positions on issues, and League members are their constituents.

Legislative interviews are an opportunity for legislators to share their priorities with local Leagues and develop an understanding of League positions and priorities. Furthermore, the state League learns more about legislators and the interests of local Leagues, gaining information useful in planning statewide advocacy and education. 

What will we do? 

We will ask for meetings with three local State legislators. Team members will attend together and take notes of the interview. We will submit the completed notes to the League of Women Voters of California by February 23, 2026. Commitment time is estimated to be 4 - 6 hours.
