Public Comment: Committee Meetings When entering the Zoom meeting, you must enter your first and last name. If the committee chair authorizes public comment on an agenda item, the chair will invite attendees who want to comment to virtually “raise their hand.” Raise hand as soon as your agenda item starts. If after “raising your hand,” the chair calls on you to comment, committee members (and other attendees) will be able to hear your comments. When you are finished commenting, your microphone and video will be muted once again, but you will continue to see and hear committee members and other individuals who are called on to comment.

Will my outreach matter? YES! State legislators are persuaded by their constituents. Personal relationships change policy. 2. Do I need to contact their staff to schedule a meeting? NO. Other than the Speaker and President, legislators do not have full-time staff. Just call/text/email. They are very busy so reach out before session and be persistent. Interns are also helpful contact points. (Contact Karson, Victoria, or Wayne at ULCT for intern contacts.) 3. What should I talk to him/her about? If your legislator is a committee chair, talk to him/her about bills that may come to the committee. Help your legislator put a face to the local officials in their district tackling local issues. 4. Session is 45 days long. Do I need to respond to a ULCT action call immediately? YES! Session is predictable in length and nothing else. Amendments quickly change bills and committee discussions take unexpected turns. Please take a few moments to reach out to your legislator when you see these alerts. 5. What if a key legislator doesn’t represent my district? Call ULCT and we’ll put you in contact with your city colleagues in the district..
