For that reason, I am providing you my notes from the IEA conference. Legislators are human. They do not know everything about every issue. But they cannot avoid the public, as we can avoid them, so they have developed defenses which may frustrate us when we talk to them. We must remember the first two sentences of this paragraph, and we must continue to communicate with them or they will never know what we know.
Legislators are representative of their districts.
In wealthy communities, they are probably wealthy. Your legislator is probably racially, religiously, and ethnically similar to your neighbors. Do not assume your legislator is better or less educated, wealthier, or wiser than yourself. They need you to vote for them, and you need them to pass laws that are good for you. Legislators want to get re-elected.
