Now that you’ve done some research into your state and its legislature, the next step is to delve into the issue itself and start to work on a strategy to pass (or stop) your bill. Also, find attached previous assignments so it can guide you. Read them first.

Part I: Interest group analysis

Your task here is to analyze the likely interest group players who will be involved in your bill. Start with the entity you are representing. What are its resources as well as weaknesses? Analyze your group and possible coalition partners for how you plan to work together. Part of this is actual research in terms of who these groups are, who they represent and of course their relationships with legislators. Next, work on the opposition. Who are they? What will they say and do? Who can they influence?

Part II: Committee and Floor strategy

Pick one of the committees your bill is going to be assigned to (if your bill has not yet be introduced, choose a likely committee). Analyze that committee and its members. What is its culture, reputation and history of legislation? Who are the members you plan on reaching out to? Who are the supporters, opponents and swing votes? Provide an outline of what your grassroots efforts will look like for both the committee vote and when the bill is heard on the floor. What will you do and when?

(Chapter-1) You are completing an internship with a juvenile probation agency and truly have enjoyed the experience. Although working with the kids is challenging, you see many rewards in the job, especially when you sense that you are reaching a client and making a difference. Mr. Childers, the probation officer with whom you work, is less optimistic about the kids and operates in a strictly by-the-book legalistic manner. He is burned out and basically does his job without getting too involved. Although you respect him, you know you would approach the clients differently if you were to be hired full-time. One weekend, you are out with friends in a downtown bar frequented by college students. To your surprise, you see Sarah, a 16-year-old probationer, dancing. In watching her, you realize that she is drunk and, in fact, is holding a beer and drinking it while she is dancing with a man who is obviously much older than she is. You go over to her, and she angrily tells you to mind your own business and immediately leaves with the man. Later she comes back into the bar and pleads with you to keep quiet. She is tearfully apologetic and tells you that she already has had several violations of her probation and at the last hearing was told that if she has one more violation, she will be sent to a juvenile detention center. You know that Sarah has been doing much better in school and plans to graduate and even go to college. On Monday morning, you sit in Mr. Childers office. What should you tell him? Include an explanation of your reasoning.
