WVML 2021 Federal Advocacy Rollout

The West Virginia Municipal League and its 230 member cities, towns and villages have developed a federal advocacy agenda. It is our mission to be active in advocacy to the U.S. Congress, the White House, federal agencies, and key stakeholders on important federal legislation, regulation, policy and resource issues in 2021. Rebuilding West Virginia cities from the impacts of COVID-19 and other challenges must be a top federal priority in the Biden/Harris Administration and 117th Congress. We call for robust national investment and innovative, non-partisan and common sense solutions in Washington DC in 2021 that support West Virginia’s Cities needs. 

We encourage our municipalities to make direct contact with their representatives whenever possible and be active within their own communities. Please consider using the resources below to get your Council involved, post on social media, and contact your representatives with a customized letter discussing your community's specific needs.  

To aid municipalities in getting involved and in contact with their representatives, the League has drafted the below documents as templates:
