As a community, it is important that we come together to support legislation that will make our state a safer place for all of its residents. We are currently advocating for a number of bills in the legislature that address issues such as mail theft, school board transparency, and public safety.
By supporting these bills, we can take a stand against criminal activity, ensure that our schools are responsive to the needs of our communities, and promote transparency and accountability in government. Join us in this movement and take action by supporting these important legislative initiatives.
