If you provide your appointment time to me I will do my best to attend meetings for those who would like my help.
Scheduling Legislative Day Meetings
Beginning in December 2025, you may start requesting appointments with your legislators for Legislative Day on January 29, 2026.
Send an email to your legislators requesting a meeting to discuss chiropractic legislative issues. At this stage, bill numbers will not yet be available. Once our bill(s) are introduced, the WSCA will provide you with the assigned numbers.
In addition to meeting with your legislators at the Capitol, please reach out to them in your district beforehand. Early meetings provide helpful background and allow you to speak to the bill status updates shared during the morning briefing on Legislative Day.
