| Like it or not, "the squeaky
wheel gets the grease!" With all of the other constituents and issues facing
legislators today, don't expect to have your perspective represented if you don't make the
effort to communicate your views. Remember
the old adage, "There is strength in numbers"? It's not only true in life, but
politics as well! While you as an individual can work with legislators for the best
interests of your district, the best chance of accomplishing your goals is to work with
your board by establishing your priorities and advocating for them together. While the
entire board may not agree completely on every issue, you will build more credibility and
be more effective if you speak with one voice rather than at cross purposes. Involving
others from your district or community also adds to the strength of your message. |
