ATT: Scheduler and Health Legislative Assistant Dear (Representative or Senator), 

My name is [Your Name], and I reside in [Your Town/City], which falls within your district. I am writing to you as a constituent and a licensed respiratory therapist currently employed at [Name of Your Employer]. 

As a member of the [Your State’s] Society for Respiratory Care, representing nearly [Number of Licensed Respiratory Therapists in Your State] licensed respiratory therapists in our state, I am deeply invested in advocating for the interests of pulmonary patients and the advancement of the respiratory therapy profession. 

I am pleased to inform you that on June 2, 2026, I will be participating in the American Association for Respiratory Care’s (AARC) annual Washington D.C., Respiratory Fly-in.
