Public Appearances

If you meet your legislators at a public event, it is appropriate to ask them about issues. Keep your questions short and to the point. Make sure your question is specific: “Will you vote for HB 2220?” or “Will you support increasing funding for higher education?” Do not use a public forum as an opportunity to argue with your legislator. If you disagree with their response or find it inadequate, discuss this with them after the forum, schedule a meeting in their office or send a letter outlining your concerns.
