Preaching The Gospel in Public Policy

Our DF Leadership Team, selected fellow Dominican Family member, John Chapa Gorczynski, to kick off our new year's theme of Compassion in Action. Mr. Gorczynski introduced himself as a person born into both politics and the Dominican Family.  John's father, Dale Gorczynski, is a former Justice of the Peace in Harris county and his mother, Cynthia Gorczynski, is a former Dominican Sister of Houston.  John currently serves as Chief of Staff for Texas State Senator, Sylvia Garcia.

John Gorczynski provided everyone with the attached handout, Tips to Influence Your Government.  The "one-pager", not only provides the most effective means for influencing your representatives, but it serves as a model for your written correspondence.  He stressed, if you want your document to be read, it needs to be limited to one page.

John Gorczynski provided the attached card as an easy method of contacting your local representatives.  Simply fill out your address at https://fyi.capitol.texas.gov/home.aspx to get your representative's name and phone number.
