NFWL Member and Hawaiian Senator Lauren Matsumoto in the spotlight in this article about the bipartisan Hawaii Women’s Caucus!
“The WLC is a bi-partisan organization comprised of women legislators in the House and Senate who support an agenda designed to improve the lives of women, children, and families in Hawai‘i.
This year, the WLC expanded their membership to include women lawmakers at the City and County level. The WLC co-conveners for 2016 are Sens. Rosalyn H. Baker and Laura H. Thielen and Reps. Della Au Bellati and Lauren Kealohilani Matsumoto.
‘The bills the governor is signing today represents this Legislature’s continued commitment to women and addressing key issues such as sex trafficking, HIV/STD, jury duty and breastfeeding, and veterans issues statewide,’said Rep. Matsumoto (Schofield, Mokulē‘ia, Waialua, Kunia, Waipi‘o Acres, Mililani). ‘While there is still more work to be done, I am incredibly proud of the work our bi-partisan caucus has accomplished this year and I look forward to continuing our work in the next legislative session.'”
