Heading Into the Second Half
Hello from your favorite Senator Angela Mosley! We have officially made it past the halfway point of session. This is when we often see the most bills start to move, while we wait for the budget to be delivered from the House of Representatives.
I am excited to share that my Senate Bill 1613 passed out of the Senate and is now in the House of Representatives. This bill memorializes Nov. 24 as Frankie Muse Freeman Day to commemorate this historic woman. She was the first woman on the United States Commission on Civil Rights. She served for multiple years under both parties and was a true leader in civil rights.
I was also happy to welcome multiple visitors and groups to the Capitol shown below. In addition, we hosted a volunteer with a disability to help with tasks around the office that will help them become career ready. She said, “I liked being able to organize things, and how it was in a quiet, slow-paced environment.”
