Testifying is the opportunity that constituents enjoy to voice their concerns during legislature process. Both writing and oral deliveries must be concise, logical, and passionate.
Enlisted arguments for or against a bill must include facts, figures, quotation from authority as well as lessons learned and best practices from other localities.
During oral delivery, it is important to follow protocol, maintain eye contact, stick to time allotted, conclude summarizing main ideas, and only answer questions that one is sure about. Saying “I do not know but will get back to you as soon as I find this information” is highly recommended to avoid uncertainty and contradictions.
Delivering testimonies does not only represent high civic engagement but mainly an instrument that constituents should make use of to help policy-makers make informed decisions and ensure that the enforcement of public policies will benefit the collectivity.
