How to write your testimony
To start, let’s talk length!
- If you are speaking in person or remotely, you’ll have two minutes of time. That’s about 200-300 words for the average person.
- If you are writing your testimony, any length is fine, but keep it concise! Although there’s a lot to love here, it’s better to be brief and focused than to list every reason you think it’s excellent.
We recommend you share your story. Why are one or more of the provisions of this bill important to you? A story is better than statistics!
