Are you a blue-dog Dem or do elephants make you smile? Do you sometimes feel that your legislative career has had nine lives? Whatever the case, grab your "best friend" and join us in the State Legislative Pet Photo contest.* Who knows, your furry, scaled, or feathered companion might end up as your state's Barker of the House, Sergeant at Purrs, Best Fun-Raiser, or even Legislative Pet of the Year!
Just fill out the simple form below**, upload a picture of that special someone, and let the debate begin!
You can check out other pets' photos without submitting your own, by viewing the slideshow at the bottom of this page, and on our Flickr page.
*At this time, the contest is limited to entrants from the legislatures of Maine, Oklahoma, Texas, and Vermont. Please, only pets from legislators, legislative staffs, and other employees at the statehouse of those four states – no outside entries.
**The information on the form is for contest purposes only – you will not be put on any calling, e-mail, or mailing list.
If you have problems submitting your photo, contact us.
