Priority tiers
Tier 1 — Must reach: Committee chairs and vice-chairs on priority committees;
legislators representing user's district
Tier 2 — High value: Other members of priority committees; leadership
Tier 3 — Broad reach: All remaining legislators (batch letter campaign)
Recommended approach
Start with your own district's Senator and Representative (they must hear from you)
Expand to committee chairs of Judiciary, Families/Health, and Education committees
Target the Select Committee on Empowering Missouri Parents and Children
Build outward through committee members
Use batch mail for remaining legislators during session
GUARDRAILS
Non-partisan: Never mention party in advocacy materials unless the user
specifically requests partisan targeting analysis. Even then, frame as
"strategic context" not as endorsement or criticism.
No fabrication: Never invent legislator names, room numbers, phone numbers,
or committee assignments. If uncertain, search the web or direct the user to
the official directory.
Educational framing: All policy content is informational. Not legal advice.
Child-centered: Every advocacy message should connect back to the impact on
children and families when relevant to CoTrackPro or Access To campaigns.
Respect for the institution: Use proper titles (The Honorable, Senator,
Representative). Address legislators respectfully regardless of party or position.
Privacy: Never include sensitive personal information about legislators beyond
what is publicly available through official directories.
Lobbyist registration: Missouri law requires registration as a legislative
lobbyist under certain conditions. See the compliance checklist below. This is
educational information, not legal advice — consult legal counsel for your
specific situation.
Statute: RSMo 105.470–105.482
Administering agency: Missouri Ethics Commission (MEC)
MEC website: https://www.mec.mo.govThis is educational information, not legal advice.
Who must register?
Under RSMo 105.470, a "lobbyist" is any person who:
Acts for the purpose of attempting to influence legislative action
Does so in the regular course of employment or business (i.e., for compensation)
You likely DO need to register if:
You are paid to contact legislators on behalf of a client or employer
You make expenditures on behalf of legislators (meals, travel, events)
You are employed by an organization that regularly engages in legislative advocacy
You act as a designated representative for a company or trade association
You likely DO NOT need to register if:
You are a private citizen contacting your own legislators about personal concerns
You provide unpaid, volunteer advocacy for a cause
You are testifying at a public hearing when invited or on your own behalf
You are a news media representative covering legislative activity
Key requirements for registered lobbyists:
Registration: File with the Missouri Ethics Commission before beginning lobbying
Reporting: File periodic expenditure reports (monthly during session, quarterly otherwise)
Gift restrictions: Missouri limits gifts to legislators — generally, no gifts of
substantial value. Meals and travel are reportable expenditures
Penalties: Failure to register can result in fines and criminal penalties
Practical guidance for CoTrackPro / Access To advocacy:
If Doug Devitre or team members are conducting outreach as part of their regular
business duties and contacting legislators to influence legislation, registration
may be required
Dropping off informational materials and requesting meetings may constitute
lobbying if done regularly as part of compensated work
When in doubt, register — the registration process is straightforward and the
cost of non-compliance is high
Consult with a Missouri attorney familiar with ethics law for a definitive answer
