We are forming teams to
interview our Bexar County state legislators (team members are not required to be constituents). Our
purpose is to get to know our state Representatives’ and Senators’ legislative priorities and plans; not to lobby them. However, the results of our meetings will be used in our advocacy efforts and shared with our state League Issue Chairs. We have twelve legislators to interview this month. So, you see,
your involvement is REALLY needed!
Please sign up to help interview one or more of our legislators. We do not expect the interviews to exceed 30 minutes. Interviews may be conducted via Zoom or in person.
For those who can join us, we’ll hold a brief
organizational meeting via Zoom Saturday, January 21, 10:00am - you can
register for that Zoom call here. If you have any questions, text or call Diann at
210-262-1499.
If you're interested in being a part of the interviews but didn't attend the organizational Zoom meeting, just email the following information to Diann Andy at
DiannAndyLWV@gmail.com ASAP:
- First and last name:
- Phone # (Cell is preferred):
- Your Texas House District # or Representative (or ? if you’re not sure):
- Your Texas Senate District # or Senator (or ? if you’re not sure):
