PACD Legislative Program

OCTOBER

This is the time to pull out the stops and hold a full fledged legislative event on your home turf. You can coordinate with several counties if that is appropriate.

Suggested District Action: Legislative breakfast or event

We will provide you with guidance materials to prepare for a successful legislative event in your area and a model press release. This project will take several months to organize, so you will have to begin preparations in the spring as have already been outlined. Two weeks before the event, prepare a press release and invite the media. Make follow-up calls to the media the day before the event. Finally, after the event send thank you notes and photos to the legislators attending.

PACD Action: PACD provides a timeline of activities to help districts successfully organize a legislative event in your county or region.
