Knowing
What You Want
The
communications that receive the most attention
in our office often ask for something
specific, such as signing on to a specific
piece of legislation, or voting in a
particular way on a bill. Of course, we always
appreciate updates and general information on
issues you care about. However, you should
think about whether there is something
specific you would like Senator Moore to do.
To find out
what bills have been introduced on any topic,
try a keyword search on the
General Court’s website.
To find bills sponsored or co-sponsored by
Senator Moore, visit the Legislation &
Committees section, here.
When
considering what you want, be sure that you
are asking for something that is actually a
state issue. For example, fixing a pothole on
the road in front of your house is something
that should be directed to your local elected
officials. These are some of the kinds of
things that you might want to talk to Senator
Moore’s office about:
|
Request to
Sponsor, Cosponsor, or Vote for or Against Legislation:
On a daily basis, your
state legislators make important decisions on
state policy issues, and you should let him or
her know when you strongly support or oppose a
certain piece of legislation.

Meetings and Site Visits: If you would
like to ask Senator Moore to
visit your program or facility, you can schedule an
appointment with the senator,
here. The
senator also holds regular coffee and office
hours to meet with constituents. A complete
schedule of all events, can be found here.

Letters of
Support: Whenever you make a grant request for
funds from a state agency, contact your state
legislators’ offices and ask for a letter of
support. Legislative offices receive these
types of requests often, and if there are no
conflicts with other constituents, are usually
happy to oblige.
