Good morning, 

 

I’m happy to report that SB 829 passed the Senate by a vote of 103-6 and gained a number of additional co-sponsors.  The next stop is the Governor’s desk!  

 

I know we still have work to do, but we should celebrate this significant step towards accessible vote by mail.  The hard work and persistence of this group has made a real difference. Thanks to everyone for being a part of this collaboration.  

 

Have a great weekend!

 

Cheryl

Good Morning All,

We have not met in a couple of weeks. I just wanted to give an update. So, we should meet on Thursday, March 31 at 2 PM. I understand that not everyone can be available but if one person from each organization can be present, this would be great.

I will send the zoom link soon.

Thank you.
