The Massachusetts Caucus of Women Legislators held a briefing on caucus priorities for legislators and staff yesterday.
Caucus strategic priorities include:
⁃ Elevating women’s economic opportunity and eliminating barriers;
⁃ Addressing racial and gender disparities in health care; and
⁃ Empowering women in government.
Co-filed with Rep. Mike Connolly and Senator Pat Jehlen, H.669/S.422 (An Act supporting parents running for office) was selected as a top legislative priority for the Women’s Caucus to further advance women’s empowerment in government. I look forward to working with the Caucus and my colleagues to pass this legislation, which will allow state and local candidates to use their campaign funds to pay for campaign related childcare expenses.
