Mailing State *

Are You 17 Years Old or Older? *

Have you ever lobbied or spoken with your members of Congress or state legislators? *

If "yes," please explain. If "no," would you be willing to? *

Are you comfortable making phone calls and submitting letters to the editor of your local newspaper? *

This position involves legislation work and not hands-on animal care. What draws you to legislative work? *

Why do you feel like you'd be a strong leader for animals in your community? *

The ASPCA works on a variety of federal, state, and local policy issues, including (but not limited to): puppy mills, equine welfare, veterinary telemedicine, breed-specific legislation, farm animal welfare, issues related to pets in housing, and disaster preparedness. Please choose one issue from this list and in 200 words or more, (i) explain why you chose this issue and (ii) why you believe your legislator should address this issue and how this issue affects your community. (You can find more information about these issues online in the ASPCA Advocacy Center and elsewhere on the ASPCA’s website.) *

Is there any other work/volunteer experience you would like us to consider? *
