From City Hall to the State Legislature, We’re Fighting For You
The state political action committee is responsible for developing HGEA’s legislative priorities with input from membership and approval by the board of directors.
When the legislative session starts in January, HGEA combs through the thousands of introduced bills to track those that may impact members. Using our legislative priorities as a guide, we determine lobbying strategy and which bills to support or oppose. We’re your voice for labor at the capitol.
