Emails are a quick and easy way to share your views with elected officials! Here are tips to enhance your message's effectiveness:
1. Keep it brief: Be mindful of the length of your email and focus on a single issue. Legislative aides read many emails, so clarity is key.
2. State your identity and purpose early: In the opening paragraph, identify yourself as a constituent and specify the issue or legislation.
3. Make your point: Share briefly what you want the elected official to do (i.e., act on a bill, make a statement, etc.) and why.
4. Personalize your message: Explain why the issue or legislation matters in your community and share a personal story if relevant. Personal anecdotes can have a strong impact.
5. Mention your relationship: Let them know if you've voted for them or contributed to their campaign. A personal connection can strengthen your message.
6. Assert your expertise: Be courteous but firm in your position, remembering that your legislator is there to represent you. They may not know more about the issue than you do.
