What decisionmakers are saying about your voices' impact…
There is no greater advocate in Maryland for the Chesapeake Bay than the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. We are fortunate to have their strong voice leading the fight for a healthier Bay and its tributaries. For over 50 years, their efforts to engage and educate Marylanders on the actions they can take to save the Bay has worked to protect the Bay's natural resources, safeguard its wildlife, and ensure clean water for our communities and future generations.
Legislators appreciate hearing from constituents. We might not always agree with your position on an issue, but we will listen and hopefully in some cases can find common ground on which to build consensus. We value your input and perspective.
It's important to make your voices known to your elected officials. Building relationships with them and stressing YOUR INTEREST in the benefits of clean water can BE HELPFUL when they face tough decisions ON RELATED ISSUES.
I want to hear from my constituents because they know best what is happening in their neighborhoods, and that helps me make well-informed policy decisions.
Elected leaders want to hear from you! That is why we ran for office. Citizen advocacy is an essential part of making good policy at all levels of government. By taking the time to understand how the process works and developing relationships with your legislators, you have the power to turn your passion into action.
It is an honor serving in Annapolis, and hearing from constituents is very important because I'm only in Annapolis to work for them and represent their interests.
