Your elected officials need to hear from you! Constituents who live and work in community associations (homeowners associations, condominiums, housing cooperatives) provide a unique perspective to help inform the opinions of legislators and influence their votes. Legislators depend on your first-hand experience and knowledge to help inform their decisions. Please take a minute to introduce yourself and urge your legislators to support homeowners in community associations. Remember to first identify yourself as a constituent, resident, and/or professional working with a community association. Then personalize the message with some of the following examples:

1. Explain how an issue you’re passionate about will affect you or your community.
2. Offer positive suggestions to address the state of associations now.
   If applicable, be specific about the action you want from the legislator (support/oppose/amend the current legislation).
3. Request a letter of reply stating the official's position on the issue (make sure you provide your name, address, and telephone number).
4. Carefully proof your email for grammar and spelling before sending.​
