“We appreciate all of the work our release staff and volunteers put into the election both on the national and state level,” said Legislative Director Judy Beard. “Victory was not achieved in every race, but this should not discourage political involvement amongst our members. Stay focused and involved in the political and legislative process on all levels. Let us use the results from this election as motivation to mobilize for the future.”
