With my first session, and even a special session last week, behind me, I wanted to share with you some of the highlighted major issues we fought for and passed this year.

Last week we held our official "Sine Die" for the 2021 Legislative Session, but there were still a few pieces of legislation that needed to be debated and voted on.

Wednesday was the closing day of the 2021 legislative session. While we focused heavily on debates and voting throughout the day, we also took time to celebrate our accomplishments over the past few months.

The House convened for a marathon four-day session week. As we are now in the final weeks of the 2021 legislative session, it has been crunch time in the Capitol.

Yesterday, HB 6107 was passed by the House and I voted yes, so I would like to take a moment to explain what the bill did and more importantly, what it didn't do.

This week, the House convened for two days of session. We debated and voted some of the most significant pieces of legislation proposed this year including the Resolution to permit "No-Excuse" Absentee voting.
