Incorrect answer:

NO, because the cost of sending all those letters will undoubtedly exceed $50 is INCORRECT.

The $50 limit on expenditures such as sending letters, making telephone calls, or doing other activities incidental to expressing your opinion is limited to issues that will appear on a statewide or local ballot, are the subject of a referred measure, or are the subject of a measure for the recall of an officer. You may send a letter on your official legislative letterhead with the state seal on it if the contents of the letter are in connection with a legislative or state function. Endorsing a friend for public office is not connected to your legislative duties or a state function and therefore would not be appropriate regardless of the cost involved.
