Use business letterhead
Address lobbying correspondence to the author of the bill with copies to members of the committee hearing the bill and to your local legislator
Make sure your legislator knows this letter is from a constituent who lives and/or does business in the legislator’s district
Be clear what action you want the legislator to take
Be sure to send a copy of your letter to the legislator’s district office and the Governor. Also send a copy to the
California Chamber so our legislative advocates can include information on your support or opposition in their committee testimony.
Be sure your address is on the letter
Act promptly before a vote has already been taken
If the legislator does what you ask, send a thank you note
Keep your letter short; a one-page succinct letter will have more impact than a longer one.
If you know the date of the next hearing, include it to ensure your letter is read in time to have an impact.
Get to the point of your letter quickly. State the bill number early in the first paragraph. Focus on one topic throughout
Provide concrete, credible information on the impact of proposed legislation-the more personalized, the more impact it will have
Use the member’s title (Assemblywoman, Senator)
Tell the legislator who you are (I am a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner who works at…and am a member of the National
Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners)
