Testimony by the League of Women Voters of Maryland



Testimony is part of League's Action and Advocacy phase. After study, consensus, and adopting a position on an issue, LWV members prepare testimony based on the Fact Sheets from our completed studies. They then present the information to legislators at the National, State, and Local levels.
