The People's Petition

    A public record of what constituents asked for

    Petitions here are civic instruments, not campaigns. Each one names a single action, the office responsible, and the public records behind the request — then keeps a permanent account of who asked, when it was delivered, and what came back.

    How a petition works

    1. Step 1

      A citizen writes a request

      Every petition names one specific action and the office responsible for it.

    2. Step 2

      Constituents add their names

      ZIP codes are checked once against public district records so constituent support can be counted separately.

    3. Step 3

      The record is delivered

      Petitions become a constituent brief with signature counts, sources and the full text of the request.

    4. Step 4

      Any response is published

      Statements, votes or hearings connected to the petition are recorded on the same page.
