VanderWall & Schmidt, and Reps. Borton, Roth & O’Malley. Watch for further advocacy follow-ups, but one of the consistent takeaways – to keep in touch with our elected officials & staffs. Send invitations to events, news releases, attend coffee hours and keep them in the loop on the impact each of us is making in our work, as well as the significant challenges all have faced due to COVID. Need to know how to connect? Find your Senator here & your Representative here. |
