4. Legislative Session starts
Tuesday was the first legislative day, and it included the swearing-
in of our own Sen. Tom Katus, with the backdrop of moderate
Republicans joining with Dems on issues we have long been fighting
for: a higher minimum wage, equitable health care, investments in
education, and real dialogue to bring about change. Our Democratic
values, which promise a place at the table for everyone, are moving
forward. Key links:
