Share Your Opinion with Local Newspapers

Personal endorsements are one of the most effective and easiest ways to support Elisabeth Motsinger's campaign, and letters to the editor of your local paper help spread your endorsement. 

Here are some guidelines to help you craft your message:
1. Keep letters brief -- three to five short, simple sentences.
2. Make one or two positive points. Don't try to cram too much into the letter.
3. Use the candidate's name, Elisabeth Motsinger, at least twice, once in the first sentence.
4. Don't personally attack the opponent. In fact, don't even use her name. We want to build name recognition for Elisabeth, not her opponent.
5. Emphasize personal qualities and your personal experience with Elisabeth. Voters want to support real, likeable people.
6. If you send your letter to multiple newspapers, change it up a little. Newspapers don't want to duplicate what has run in another outlet.
7. Don't delay. Send it today!
