Communicating With Your Elected Officials

Your opinion is important to elected officials and can influence their votes. You can communicate with them by letter, email, telephone, FAX, or a personal visit.

• Be brief; discuss only one or two issues. • Write to each legislator individually and use your own words. • Identify legislation by number or title, if possible. If you know the number, author or subject of a bill, a phone call to Hartford (860) 240-0555, will get you information on bill status in minutes or visit the CT General Assembly website at www.cga.ct.gov and click on Search. • Make your communications timely. Remember, the Connecticut General Assembly is a part-time legislature that begins its sessions early in the year and does not meet in the summer or fall. • Influence legislative committees by testifying at their public hearings on proposed bills. • Write notes of appreciation to your legislators when appropriate. Support them when they adopt a position that you have advocated.
