Agenda

House Democrats laid out an ambitious agenda soon after the start of this session and leaders of the chamber met with the press Tuesday to announce that they have already met most of our goals. The agenda called for improving confidence in government, providing a quality education, creating jobs, improving health, supporting our military, ensuring safer communities, promoting a more sustainable energy future, and protecting the environment. Bills that have cleared the House have addressed those matters in several ways, and House Speaker Joe Hackney and Majority Leader Hugh Holliman pledged that for the remainder of the session the House will focus on further improvements in those areas.
