I have been going to DC in April the last two years as a board member of a national association I belong to professionally, to discuss important federal legislation with our elected senators and representatives. Last year I stopped in unannounced with Rep. Gardner (running for Senate this year). He was very inviting and sat down until he was called to vote. As a constituent to others, I had to make an appointment with a legislative aide - which is expected. Yesterday I contacted the WY equivalent and today was offered personal appointments with them, or a group appointment (unfortunately, the group appointment conflicts with a meeting). I was impressed by this fast and very personal, yet apparently not extraordinary outreach by these elected officials. I am looking forward to these meetings.
