Communicating with your Senator

Nebraska's senators make important decisions affecting health care and the medical profession. The success of every legislative initiative depends on effective communications with your senator. Your personal relationship and contact with your senator will enable him or her to develop positions on important issues and make informed decisions. As a physician, it is critical that senators know your perspective as they make decisions about health policy.

Personal Visits

--Make an appointment. Senators keep busy schedules, especially during the session. Their office staff can help you set a time and date for your meeting. Tell the staff what you want to discuss at the meeting. Often, senators are willing to meet with constituents in their districts, when the Legislature is not in session. --Be prepared. The mere fact that you want your senator to take a particular position on legislation is not enough. If you are going to discuss a particular bill, read the bill. Have an agenda of points you want to discuss. --Be focused. Restrict your visit age
