Quick Action
All but 2 House Republicans forced an early end to the legislative session in mid-April by refusing to extend the session by 5 days so that the Legislature could finish its work. The Legislature returns Wednesday, May 2, to vote on a number of bills recently vetoed by the governor and another vote to extend the session. If your legislator voted no before, call her/him ASAP and demand a YES vote on an extension so they can finish what they started.

THE ISSUE
In April, every House Republican except William Tuell and Scott Walter Strom voted to leave Augusta without finishing their work, leaving many important bills up in the air. (House Republican Roger Sherman and Karleton Ward did not vote and the Senate vote was unanimous to extend the session.) The Legislature meets again Wednesday, May 2 to consider overrides of the governor’s vetoes of several critical bills and another vote to extend the session. Phone numbers for all the representatives who voted against extending the session are below. If you representative is on the list, call her/him TODAY and demand a YES vote on the 5-day extension to finish the work they started. On the day of the vote, you can also leave a message for your rep at 1-800-423-2900. Learn more some of the vetoed bills and some of those left unresolved in our Legislature Roundup.
