We’re so excited about the start of the 2019 legislative session. Now that conservatives no longer have a super-majority in both the House and the Senate, we have more power to enact the progressive policies of our Featured Candidates. We have started the session off strong with a bill to expand Medicaid that was introduced in both chambers. We’re so proud to see many of our Featured Candidates as sponsors of the bill. In the House, all primary sponsors of the Medicaid expansion bill are Lillian’s List candidates you have helped elect.
What is something you’d like to say to our progressive women serving in the NCGA? Maybe you’d like to thank them for standing up for reproductive rights in NC. Maybe you want to ask them what it was like to run for office. Maybe you’d like to ask them about their stance on an issue that’s important to you. You’ll have the opportunity to speak with several of the progressive women serving in the NCGA at our Legislative Lunch in Raleigh on March 22nd.
We’re trying something new this year at the event – legislative speed dating. Legislators will rotate from table to table and meet and hear from our guests. This is a unique opportunity to have a candid conversation with the women you’ve helped elect.
Join us in Raleigh and make your voice heard!
