Connect with Congress
Connecting with your representative is a great way to help enact change.
The 117th Congress (2021-2022) convened on January 3rd. New House and Senate Bills have to be reintroduced to the House of Representatives and the Senate in each session. Links to the new bill numbers will be posted here when they are available.
SUWA has put together a webpage with tips on communicating with elected officials. It also includes helpful tips on letter writing and phone calls, and also has guidance on writing letters to the editor to send to newspapers.
Want help writing your letter? Here is a link to a preformatted letter that you can personalize or use as is to request that your members of Congress co-sponsor ARRWA. Just enter your information and SUWA will forward it to the right place based on your address.
Senate
Senator Murray has co-sponsored ARRWA in the past. Please encourage her to again co-sponsor ARRWA in this session, and encourage Senator Cantwell to do the same.
House of Representatives
Please contact your representative to thank them if they have co-sponsored ARRWA in the past. Encourage them to again co-sponser the current bill or ask them to if they have not.
