2021 Wrapup

This Legislative session LWVMD is proud to have submitted testimony on over 75 bills!  We could not have done all of this without our amazing advocacy teams.  Each team spent many hours drafting issue papers, writing and presenting testimony, listening to committee hearings and floor sessions and attending coalition meetings.  When appropriate they sent out Action Alerts calling for our members and supporters to contact their legislators to help move bills forward. 

In 2021 LWVMD focused on the following main advocacy areas.  Click on each of the following advocacy areas to read more.
