Powerful Lobbyist Dale Florio from Princeton Public Affairs Group. He recommended:
- Finding a Primary sponsor who is a Democrat because they hold the majority. Find a person that will actually push the bill.
- Get a Republican Co-primary sponsor
- Have student leader present letter requesting additional sponsors
- Ask if they know of other groups/people that may be interested in supporting
- Work Senate at same time
- Once bill is re-introduced, send letter to all 116 other legislators
- Send Letter to Chairman of Education Committee to add bill to list, and also ask prime sponsor to reach out to Chairman
- If possible, have students speaking at committee meetings
- Lobby day – once out of committee and before bill goes for a vote. Students meet legislatures in halls during voting session, introduce themselves and give them a handout that briefly outlines the bill
- Primary Sponsor requests Senate Pres/Speaker to post bill for vote
- Request editorial board session with major daily papers
