Because the session is closed to the public this year due to Covid-19, it will be very difficult to reach legislators or their staff in person or with the traditional Capitol mailboxes. Additionally, we have heard from some legislators that they will be outright muting or redirecting mass email campaigns this year. They have argued that these types of email campaigns will further add to the difficulties of a remote session. While this may be true, it’s no excuse to restrict feedback from constituents. To that end we encourage you to reach out individually to your legislator by phone and email. Mass email and letter writing campaigns can be effective, but the impact of a real call or genuine email should not be overlooked. NMBC encourages you to get involved and speak to your legislators on the issues that matter to you.
The links below will be helpful for determining your representatives in the house and senate and reaching them on an individual basis. We also have links to help you get even more involved in the session. You can look up legislation and read the bills in live time as they make their way through the Roundhouse and it’s labyrinth of committees. We also have links to watch the live stream meetings, see schedules and important dates, committee membership and so much more.
