   Senator _________ Capitol Complex 1700 West Washington Phoenix, AZ 85007-2890

   Representative ______ Capitol Complex 1700 West Washington Phoenix, AZ 85007-2890

    

3. Write to all three legislators.  Your letters should be clear and to the point, using a positive tone.
   
   
4. Start by identifying yourself as a citizen in their district, and a registered voter if you are so.  Make sure to include your return address.
   
   
5. Make clear that you support  legislation that would restore state funding to all Community College districts in both urban and rural areas, including the Maricopa Community colleges.
   
   
6. Give one or more reasons why you support such legislation.
   
   • The size of the Maricopa system, in terms of number of students served as well as number of partnerships with business and industry, makes it a critical component in the economic growth of Arizona.  For every $1 of public money spent on the community colleges, taxpayers get a $4 return in tax revenues and reduced government costs.
   • Community colleges, and particularly the Maricopa Community Colleges, are among the leading providers of workforce training in the state.
   • These monies will go directly to vital Community College programs that can help address areas such as Biomedical Technology Research, Nuclear Energy, Internet technology and cybersecurity, and many others that meet Arizona’s workforce demands, such as programs that help address the critical shortage of K-12 teachers.  Students with this specialized training earn higher salaries and enjoy greater job security.
     
7. Thank the legislator for considering what you have written and ask them to please respond to you.
