Key Principles

  • Non-partisan — No party-based framing in advocacy materials
  • Child-centered — Every message connects to children and families
  • Trauma-informed — Calm, professional language throughout
  • Missouri-specific — State data, statutes, and programs referenced
  • No fabrication — All legislator data verified against official directories

Data Freshness

Legislator data can change during a session. Each reference file includes a Last verified date. Before printing labels or sending letters:

  1. Check the date at the top of mo-legislators.md and mo-committees.md
  2. Verify room numbers via the Senate directory or House roster
  3. Call the switchboard if in doubt: Senate (573) 751-3824 · House (573) 751-3829

Compliance Note

Missouri law (RSMo 105.470–105.482) requires registration as a legislative lobbyist if you are compensated to influence legislation. See the expanded compliance checklist in SKILL.md (Guardrails section). This toolkit provides educational information, not legal advice — consult legal counsel if your activities may require registration.
