There are new elected officials in the state legislature, on county boards, and in city governments. Knowing who to reach out to is the first step in engaging.
It’s easy to get stuck in our own circles these days. But this isn’t about shifting your beliefs. It’s about making space to listen and learn.
It's okay if you don’t know or can’t recall an answer in the moment. What matters most is being honest. It’s always better to say you’ll follow up than to risk giving incorrect information.
