If I want to present a policy , which elected official do I go to in my city ?

Is there a website or a way to look up who to go to ?

Thank you all and Happy 4 th of July !!

A policy for what? What do you want to happen as a result of the policy? Do you want a city bylaw to be enacted? a state law to be enacted? Your city and state elected representatives likely have contact information on their websites.

it is a state level policy . A new policy .Am I able to start with a city official ?

You need to start with your representative in your state house or senate.

If you don't know who that is, your state government web site probably has that information. Your state web site will be your state 2 letter abbreviation followed by ".gov" For example, PA.GOV | The Official Website for the State of Pennsylvania (Pennsylvania), Welcome to the California State Web Portal (California), Commonwealth of Kentucky (Kentucky), Iowa.gov (iowa), etc.

You will need to know what district you are in. That information should be on your voter registration card.

City government enacts city level laws and ordinances. They have no authority to enact a state wide policy or law.

THank you!

I am dying to know what you are proposing.

While this is true that your city cannot enact a state wide policy, sometimes your city alderman will listen to your proposal and offer some sugggestions. I met with my city councillor in regards to a provincial matter and received some valuable advice that helped result in a successful outcome.

:) I want to see how this goes before I say anything about it . I have no confidence in myself whatsoever . To this effect , what type of questions should i expect from the lawmaker? specifically a state representative

So my presentation will be happening in a few days.

What type of questions to lawmaker ask in general when presented with a policy , I have no experience with this and i do not feel prepared enough no matter what
