SPOTLIGHT: Lobby Your Lawmakers


Written by David E. Smith

If you’ve ever wondered how best to effectively communicate with your state representatives and senators, this edition of Spotlight will be of special interest to you!

In a presentation at the 2019 SpeakOut Illinois conference, former state representative Peter Breen gives us an insider’s view of the life of a legislator and offers valuable tips for interacting with those individuals who are hard against an issue, hard in favor of an issue, or “neutral.” While many of Breen’s remarks are directed toward pro-life legislation, his advice is applicable to other topics of concern to conservatives and pro-family voters.

Peter Breen is Vice President and Senior Counsel for the Thomas More Society and a candidate for state representative in the 48th district.


IFI is hosting our annual Worldview Conference on March 7th at the Village Church of Barrington.
