We are winning in this year’s legislative session. Many of the bills that we saw as critical to return our state to normal functioning and preventing governmental overreach have passed. Others are in the pipeline and we expect them also to become law. The list below is just a few of those good bills that we supported. This is because of those of you who have kept in contact with our legislators, sent emails and called or texted. This is how government is supposed to work!!! Remember, those in government work for us, not the other way around! Thank you so much for your support!
