About this Event
We’re excited that CCL volunteers will have the opportunity to put their lobbying skills to work at the Texas Legislature’s upcoming session! We’re working with members of the bipartisan Texas Caucus on Climate, Environment and Energy about policy priorities for the session, and we’ll announce a more detailed agenda for our meetings with legislators soon.
