1.16.16 Listening Session for 4.13.18 EUpdate.jpg

If you are a constituent of the 81st District, please take my 2018 Legislative Survey!

Rule of 49

In accordance with state law, this will be the last e-newsletter coming from my legislative office in 2018. To prevent legislators from using state resources for campaign purposes, we are not allowed to send out more than 49 pieces of the same material after April 15th of each election year.

This rule, called the "Rule of 49", includes emails, paper mail, Blue Books, maps, etc. I am making every effort to get Blue Books and maps out before April 15th to those who have requested them. If you were not able to get a Blue Book or map this year, don't worry! We will get a fresh supply again next year. My office remains open to you for all other legislative services. Just email Rep.Considine@legis.wi.gov or call (608) 266-7746.
