Omschrijving

The Citizen's Handbook for Influencing Elected Officials is a practical, research-driven guide for anyone who wants to understand how government really works-and how to make their voice heard in it.

This newly expanded second edition-more than twice the length of the original-draws on the author's forty years of experience working in and around the United States Congress, including his tenure at the nonpartisan Congressional Management Foundation. It offers a rare insider's view of how legislators make decisions and what kinds of advocacy actually influence them.

Blending novel research, interviews with dozens of current and former members of Congress and their staff, and lessons learned from years of direct experience, this handbook demystifies the policymaking process and arms readers with the tools to make an impact. Inside it you'll find:

Proven strategies for influencing lawmakers face-to-face
Best practices for communicating with Congress and state legislatures
Guidance for writing compelling emails, letters, and op-eds
A practical overview of congressional culture and decision-making
Insights from off-the-record interviews with elected officials and staff
Newly updated appendices with core civic texts and advocacy resources

Whether you're preparing to meet with an elected official, writing a persuasive letter to the editor, or simply trying to understand the levers of power in Washington and your state capital, this book offers clear, actionable strategies to be an effective citizen-advocate.
