· Call LA (Legislative assistant) They are the key, be nice, friendly tell them why you want a few minutes with their boss. They know what it is about.
· If you can go to Olympia and pre-meet the LA and get the lay of the land, try to schedule based on office locations. If you are not careful, you might get real tired going up stairs and elevators.
