| How
to Get Involved Call your Legislator You may not be able to reach your legislator directly. When you call just leave a message with his/her secretary stating your name, address and your position on the bill. If you don't know a bill number, try to be as specific as possible about the issue you are calling about. You also may want to ask the legislator to return your call to explain how he/she voted.
Write or E-mail your Legislator Be sure to reference the bill number or topic of the issue you are writing about. Try to make your point in the first or second sentence. When contacting your legislator by e-mail, note Support/Oppose and the Senate/House Bill number in the subject line. For the greeting and the body of your message, follow the same guidelines as noted above. The Senate and House rosters with all legislator e-mail addresses can be found on the Arizona Legislative Information System (ALIS) Web site at www.azleg.state.az.us/MemberRoster.asp. Appear at the Legislature to Testify Determine which committee your bill has been assigned and when the committee chairperson plans to hear that bill. The chairperson can switch the agenda around, so plan to attend the entire meeting. Bring extra reading materials and a snack. Prepare your testimony ahead of time, be brief and clear when stating your opinions.
The chair or committee members may ask you questions. When responding to a question always address the chairperson:
If you have any questions, call the city of Phoenix Intergovernmental Programs Office at 602-256-4257.
