Why you should learn how to build a relationship with legislators

As a special service district, having your voice heard loud and clear above the noise in our capitol can be challenging. Lawmakers are continuously busy and are constantly being flooded with phone calls, emails and in-person appointments with voters and lobbyists.

How do you keep your district from fading away into the background of all the others vying for attention? It’s all about building strong relationships.

In order for you to stand out from everyone else and cause your special service district to be remembered by your representatives, you need to build a relationship with them.

Once you have a healthy relationship established between yourself and the men and women passing bills into law, your voice will have much more power than before. You won’t just fade away into the incessant noise bombarding them, and they’ll remember who you are and what you stand for.

You’ll be able to establish yourself as an authority with just as much credibility as a regular district. Instead of being wrongfully viewed as a “shadow government,” you’ll begin to receive the recognition your district deserves.
