When you call them, they are very nice and are just there to take your message. If you give them your name and address, they will tell you who your Senator and Representative are. The next time you call, they will have you on file.
Call the Legislative Hotline and say this [add brief reasons anytime you feel moved to – sample reason included here but encourage you to use your own]: “I would like to leave a message for:
My Senator:
Support SB 62. We must have fair and honest elections.
Support SB 106. We must have fairness and integrity in athletics.
Oppose SB 35 This is government overreach.
Oppose SB 25 Students need to learn in school, not online.”
