Legislative Update from Rep. Jeff Backer

Friday, February 17, 2023

Dear Neighbors,

Reminder to join Rep. Tom Murphy and myself for a 2nd Amendment town hall meeting tomorrow, Saturday, at the Dalton Community Center starting at 9:00 AM.

This is an opportunity for you to hear from us about the series of gun control bills Democrats are pushing through the legislature. 

Make sure your voice is heard!

On Monday, House Democrats approved legislation that would put more than a hundred million dollars into a public program that has a history of issues with waste, fraud, and abuse. This is unacceptable!
