105 Ways To Build Relationships With Your Elected Officials

Do you wish your grassroots advocates would build relationships with their elected officials all year, not just when it’s time to write letters or make phone calls about your legislative issues?

If your grassroots advocates have credible, positive working relationships with their legislators, read no further. If not, your members need our publication, "105 Ways to Build Relationships With Your Elected Officials."

The legislative process orbits around relationships. Fair or unfair, certain voters get more attention from elected officials than others do. To build trust, your advocates must be more than legislative “pen-pals.”

One of the most common laments we hear is: “How can we spur our members to build relationships with their legislators?” We believe the “105 Ways to Build Relationships With Your Elected Officials” will provide a head start for your members to build these all important relationships.

The booklet shows your grassroots and/or PAC participants how they can keep in touch with elected officials beyond calling or writing their elected officials to vote “Yes” or “No” on your issue, attending a fundraiser, or making apolitical contribution. The booklet includes information on how and why each activity helps to build a positiveworking relationship with their elected officials.
