Write a letter to each of your candidates, telling of any personal/family and other important issues related to persons with disabilities.  Tell them to support needed disability funding.  

Better yet, take the time to meet with any and all of your candidates to let them know in person.  Let them know that you intend to work with them in the future on important disability issues.
