Contact With Government Officials

Guidance on contact with government officials.

While the district supports the right of employees to voice their political views, employees should not use the APS email system to express political opinions, nor should political emails be sent during the work day.

If you, as an APS employee, are contacted by a legislator, political candidate, or government official regarding proposed legislation, interim legislative work, legislative visits, school visits, district concerns, or APS policies and procedures, contact Jessica Martinez, APS Policy Analyst and Government Liaison, at martinez_je@aps.edu prior to any further discussion.  She will help ensure that information is gathered and shared with the appropriate APS departments and that any district-related communications are consistent with the district's position, policies, and procedures.

Prior to any communication with government officials or agencies, please review the APS Procedure for Employee Government Relations.
