Individual Lobbying

The best way to ensure you talk to your legislators is to let them know you are coming and try to schedule a time and place to meet. The best times for individual lobbying will be first thing in the morning from 8:30-10 and over lunch 11:45-1.  Click here to find your legislators and their email (type in your zip code and follow prompts if you're not sure who yours are).   <<Return to Jan. 15 home page
