Why should you invite legislators to events in your community?
Community events are a great opportunity for your state and federal elected officials to get to know their constituents, experience their local community spirit, and learn what issues are important to communities like yours. Your elected officials need to hear from constituents like you about important issues impacting those living and working in their districts.
Your voice matters! 94% of lawmakers said an in-person visit from a constituent would influence them on an issue they’re undecided on. (From the Congressional Management Foundation, Citizen-Centric Advocacy: The Untapped Power of Constituent Engagement)
Direct constituent interactions have more influence on lawmakers’ decisions than any other advocacy strategy. Inviting elected officials to these events is an easy way to build critical relationships with lawmakers and their staff and spread the word about CAI and our resources.
