 Communicating in two directions
Being a legislative representative for your city requires communicating in at least two directions. State and federal legislators need to hear from you to understand the issues facing your community. And your constituents – the residents and workers in your city – need to know how the decisions made in Olympia and Washington, D.C. affect them. See the Pocket Guide for more helpful tips.
