As your state representative, I rely on your input to help me in crafting legislation and in deciding how to vote on pending bills. I always welcome you to share your views, interests and concerns with me.

We are now in the part of the legislative session when committees hold their public hearings on pending bills. I wanted to let you know about a few of the public hearings being held next week in case you would like to testify for or against them, or submit written testimony. These are only a few of the bills being heard, but they are some of the bills on which I have received the most interest from people in our district.
