January 2023 Advocacy Update
Thank you to everyone who supported us through the major election of 2022! With your help, we contributed $100k to engineering-supportive candidates. With the election over, we are focusing on the biennial budget and passing important legislation. This all starts at Legislative Day where we make a major push early in the legislative cycle. After that campaign, we need to replenish our coffers for the next round; consider giving now so we can immediately make an impact in 2023! Check out the folks who stepped up in 2022.
