what is the role of the Whip?

The whip keeps their caucus together on votes. They "whip" votes and keep people together on issues.

Are you considering ERA part of this strategy?

We'll get into watchlist items like ERA on the next slide

Thanks. Sorry to jump ahead😂

I have to leave early but I hope you will speak to Immigration Reform (or at least DACA) This is a major issue now and LWV cannot ignore it. Katherine Gavzy LWV Pasadena Area

Milwaukee is challenging the results of the Census. Are you watching these types of challenges?

And here's the LMS page that Rebecca is talking about for advocacy tools: https://www.lwv.org/league-management/making-democracy-work/advocacy

Under Making Democracy Work are there any plans to address abolish the Electoral College and a national popular vote?

It would be helpful to actually show the pages that are referred to here. Sometimes it is difficult to find specific pages on the site. Search results are sometimes puzzling.

Will the LWV advocate for Rank Choice Voting?

Do you have suggestions for engaging with new Representatives?

Were thinking about a study on ranked choice voting. What others states should we consult?

Replying to "Were thinking about ..."Maine for sure. Also check the LWV clearinghouse for other state and local positions that you might be able to adopt by concurrence

Replying to "Were thinking about ..."Where can I find the clearinghouse?

You do encourage local leagues to contact our members of Congress about the issues that we support as individuals, but if we identify as LWV members or set up legislative meetings we need to complete the form?correct?

Replying to "Were thinking about ..."Thank you.

Does the requirement to use form include proposed contract with cabinet officials, Federal officials?

Is there a problem asking representatives and senators to speak at our annual state convention. We would ask a Republican and a Democrat.

Yes. Specifically Senator Murkowski and Rep. Peltola

If you’re going to send an FARF but there’s an issue where the state League doesn’t support the particular position that is in Impact on Issues. Is it possible that it could go through?

Re Sue's question: Are there any Dem Congresspeople in Wyoming? Or GOP in MA? … ;-)
