Last weekend we attend the Y and G State Conference in Austin. M and M had a blast and did a great job presenting their bills.
We were glad that Linda got to come watch them present in committee.
Mallory was in the House, and Mason was in the Senate. Both of their bills passed in their chamber, so it needed to be sponsored in the other chamber to be presented. It was so cool that they got to sponsor each other's bills. Mal sat in the back of the Senate while Mason presented hers. He would confer with her from time to time. It was so amusing when he would go back to the mic and say,"I just spoke to the bill author..." They are never allowed to say another delegate's name - much less say "I just talked to my sister." To give you an idea of how nice it was for their bills to make it to general assembly, the House only presented about 6 bills and the Senate presented about 8.
They always have fun at the banquet.
I am so proud of them! I would love to see this process in action. :)
