Arts Advocacy: Sample Email to a Politician
Tool #313
The tool "Arts Advocacy: Sample Email to a Politician" is a template that provides an outline for what to include in a correspondence to a politician.
This tool is useful when inviting a politician to your event. This template is written in the case that you have had no previous contact with them. If a previous connection exists, do mention it (e.g. by referencing an event you attended where you heard the politician speak or where you met the politician, etc.). You can also add a politician on an event list you already have (a VIP list or an invitation list), however a personalized written invitation will have a higher chance of success than a less personal one.
