How to Communicate With Congress
Talking to lawmakers and staff is a challenge. Meetings are brief. Inboxes are stuffed. How does your team command attention and communicate effectively?

- The role of constituent communications in a congressional office
- Why showing impact in the district is your first priority
- How constituent stories can help move the needle
- Why creating a specific “ask” is helpful to lawmakers
- The role of staff in surfacing issues
- What you can do to help lawmakers help you
