Biennial newsletter: Share your thoughts

You may have recently received a newsletter in the mail from me. Many legislative offices send out this biennial communication each legislative session. It's a great way for me to keep you updated on what is happening here in the Capitol, but I also want to hear from you. My newsletter includes a brief survey which you can tear off and mail back to my office. Representing your voice in our state government is the most important part of my job, and hearing directly from you is the best way for me to make sure I am serving you, the people.

If you have a moment to fill out and return the survey, I would greatly appreciate it. You can also access the survey on my legislative website: http://legis.wisconsin.gov/assembly/81/considine/2015-2016-legislative-survey/. Thank you for helping me to be a better public servant to you!
