Many members spent quality time with their lawmakers at fundraisers and other events leading up to the general election in November .
PDA ’ s Legislative Checkup Week in September was an opportunity for members to connect with state lawmakers before they returned to finish out the legislative session this fall . Their efforts are helping lay the groundwork for PDA to lobby for important dental insurance reform initiatives next session , including dental loss ration legislation . Members also took the opportunity to advocate for more funding in the dental Medicaid program .
Do you have any feedback or pictures to share from meetings or conversations with your legislators this past year ? If so , we ’ d love to feature your advocacy efforts and build on your efforts by following-up with your legislators . Please contact PDA ’ s government relations team at mss @ padental . org , to share .
