Additionally we pay tribute to all of our Legislative officials who tirelessly sponsored, co-sponsored
bills, gave testimonies, bear witness to the Filvets cause, crossed the aisle, overcame the political divide & ideologies
to work in solidarity with one another.
We also should not forget to express appreciation to their dedicated staff for all their patience.
