Here’s what it’s like to staff the Congresswoman while she’s questioning witnesses in Committee. Maddie took this in an @EdLaborCmte hearing on teacher preparation! https://t.co/GGQUlFlQRz — PolitiTweet.org

Fifth: With enough support, the bill can be taken up by its committee of jurisdiction! In committee, they can hold a hearing to discuss a bill, or they can hold a mark-up where Members offer amendments and ultimately vote on whether to pass it out of the committee! — PolitiTweet.org

Fourth: We work with the Congresswoman to gain support! We ask advocacy groups, constituents, and other Members of Congress to support her bill. When a Member of Congress signs on, that is called a “cosponsorship.” We also drop off forms indicating cosponsors at the Cloakroom! — PolitiTweet.org

Third: The Congresswoman introduces the bill! We drop the bill off at the Cloakroom for the House Clerk! The Cloakroom was named after @GabbyGiffords and Leo J. Ryan in 2017. https://t.co/fWqmIMh2f4 — PolitiTweet.org

Second: We take those ideas, and we work with the Congresswoman to figure out how to craft a law to address the problem. Once we figure that out, we draft bill text! Here’s Maddie with text of our boss’s bill, The Closing the College Hunger Gap Act! https://t.co/SuPPDgeZ9m — PolitiTweet.org

First: we hear from you! We spend a lot of time speaking with ppl from across CT-05 about what issues we can address at a federal level. Here’s Alex, our Legislative Director, meeting with @NAAE about how we can support the next generation of farmers! https://t.co/GN1XlqXq88 — PolitiTweet.org

Zeke here! The Capitol complex stands on top of a network of underground tunnels & subways that connect House and Senate Office Buildings, the Capitol & the Library of Congress! They help Members of Congress and staff get around without having to withstand this 90+ degree heat! https://t.co/ioCKLtMaYI — PolitiTweet.org
