One of the League’s most important responsibilities is representing the municipal viewpoint before the General Assembly, the U.S. Congress and administrative rule-making authorities.

To effectively lobby and advocate for what's in the best interest of cities, towns, and their residents, our Government Affairs staff works directly with legislators, government agencies and employees, and other policymakers to ensure that municipal officials are involved in the process of setting policies and rules affecting municipal operations.

Understanding and keeping up with issues important to local government is another way to be involved in advocacy. Read  our League Bulletin to stay informed.

Each resident of the state has one representative in each of those legislative bodies, determined by the district in which their residence falls.
