Content: This is the best way to get a message directly to them. Most officials love to have people show they care enough about an issue to ask questions and give input, and even set aside time to meet with their constituents one on one. Over 15 years ago, when I first moved to town, I checked off “Yes” on my voter registration card when asked if I wanted to work elections.

In November 2016 I ran for State Representative. Are you involved in your local government? Have you ever considered it?
