Communicating With
Your Elected Officials
Your opinion is important to elected officials and can influence
their votes. You can communicate with them by letter, e-mail,
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.
