Every year, the LWVIL Issues and Advocacy Committee encourages local Leagues to solidify their relationships with their state senator(s) and representative (s) by holding Legislative Interviews. The primary purpose of the interview is to strengthen the lines of communication with legislators and build goodwill. The emphasis is on a respectful exchange of views and information, setting the stage for future action in your community. Two interviews are reported below of US Representative Sean Casten, State Senator John Curran, and State Representatives Anne Stava-Murray and Terra Costa Howard.
