Why Do You Need State and Local Services?

Governors, state senators, state representatives and locally elected officials can be extremely effective in communicating your messages to Members of Congress. A state-level effort enhances all federal government relations efforts. Consider the following:

• Most Members of Congress look to state legislative leaders for input and feedback on what is going on back in their home districts

• Many Members of Congress are themselves former governors, state senators and state representatives

• Some of these state legislative leaders will themselves be elected to Congress in the future

• State leaders pay particular attention to how much a company and/or industry is contributing to state tax rolls, employment and their communities

• State legislative leaders are an "on-the-ground" resource in congressional districts who can be an important asset in communicating your messages

• Statements and actions of state leaders, particularly committee members of key state House/Senate committees, can add strength to your messages

• Many issues addressed in Congress have originated in state legislatures
