Tips For Calling:
Telephone calls are taken by a staff member, NOT the actual legislative member. Use these basic steps when contacting their office:
• Identify yourself by name and the town of your residence.
• Explain that you want to leave a message for the Senator or Representative. Too much information can confuse the content of your message. Be brief and to the point.
• A sample message might go as follows: “Hello, my name is Jane Advocate and I would like to leave a message for the Senator/Representative please. I live at 123 Good Advocate Street in Louisville Kentucky. This is my message: child care keeps Kentucky earning and learning. Please invest in early childhood education.
• Thank the person who took the call.
Phone calls can be a critical advocacy tool and only require a minute of your time. They can make or break an issue when its time for your public official to cast their final vote. Make contact and make a difference!
