Step 1 of 2

Add your name

Add your name as a supporter of the campaign for the Delaware Youth Council. We count supporters by county and show the totals on the home page. We never publish names.

Without JavaScript the form still sends. You will land on a plain confirmation page instead of this one, and the letter below will not fill itself in; edit the parentheses by hand.

We store what you enter in a spreadsheet the campaign controls. We do not sell it. Your street address is used only inside your letter and is not stored. When you open the letter in your email app, we record only the time and your county so we can count letters: not your name, your address, or your words. In step 4 you can choose to send the campaign a copy of your letter. That is optional and unchecked unless you check it, and a copy is not permission to publish anything you wrote. Privacy policy

Step 2 of 2

Email your legislators

Each Delaware address has one state senator and one state representative. Email both.

Find your legislators

Enter your address on the state's official lookup page and note both names and email addresses. If you live outside Delaware, use your Delaware home address, such as the house you grew up in.

Open Find My Legislator (opens in a new tab)

Subject

Message Dear Senator [Last name] and Representative [Last name], My name is (your name). I live in (your county) County, ZIP (your ZIP). I am a constituent. I am asking you to support legislation creating the Delaware Youth Council: 15 high school students, five from each county, chosen through an open statewide application every year. Today Delaware gives young people one statewide seat, a non-voting student member of the State Board of Education who serves one year and speaks only to education policy. The council would give students from all three counties a standing place in state government. It would deliver a written report every year, the House and Senate Education Committees would hold a joint hearing on that report, and every committee named in a recommendation would respond in writing within 60 days. Members would receive a per-meeting stipend so students who hold jobs can serve. (Add one or two sentences here about why this matters to you, or delete this line.) I would like to know where you stand on this proposal. Thank you for your time. (your name) (your street address) (your county) County, DE (your ZIP)

The letter opens in your own email app, so it reaches your legislators from you, not from us.
