Chris & Danielle sit down to talk about the long road ahead for the upcoming election season. They touch on celebrating what has been accomplished at the legislature, working on what comes next, and learning from the lessons gained so far.
SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY:Proverbs 24:1-6 TPT ACTION ITEMS:

These are the bills that failed because of their action or inaction:
o Rep. Crews' HB 81 to require school personnel to call students by their given name and pronouns unless parents provide written permission to do otherwise.
o Rep. Echols' HB 125 to prohibit foreign adversaries from the purchase of agricultural land, which would have strengthened and brought financial and legal recourse that was specific to land.
o Rep. Edmonston's HB 399 to require vaccine exemption notices.
o Rep. Horton's HB 466 to prohibit school personnel from initiating inappropriate sexuality and gender discussions with students.
