Abstract	In hopes of shedding light on how public school leaders can better advocate on the state level for the needs of their schools and their students, The School Administrator turned to policymakers in different settings and with different political leanings. They invited a trio--a Republican state legislator from the Chicago suburbs, a rural Democratic legislator in Oregon and the Republican vice-chair of the state board of education in Colorado--to address what they observe of educational advocates, good practices and bad, and to suggest ways superintendents and other educators can be more effective in their lobbying efforts. Their perspectives also come with a full appreciation of the role played by school system leaders. One of the contributors spent several years as a member of her local school board before moving on to state politics. Another served as a district superintendent simultaneous with her first term as a state legislator before retiring from school duty. The accounts of three are provided in this article. (ERIC).
