Lobbying for Improvements

Improve our laws with lobbyist Dan Johnson

Why lobby?

Changing laws or public budgets looks intimidating, but with the right initiative and deferential approach, elected officials who share your values and vision are delighted to help.Politicians are nice. They're busy so it can be tough to get a hold of them, but they like to help people. That's why almost all of them are into public service. They want to make things better.If you do the homework and tell politicians specifically how they can help you (or your company, your cause or your dream for a better world) most of them would like to say yes. That's amazing and fun. And that's why you should lobby. Because you really can change our laws for the better.

Who do I help?
