The purpose of NSDC’s legislative platform is to guide advocacy priorities and elevate special districts’ voice in the halls of Congress. NSDC’s advocacy team is devoted to connecting with members of the U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Senate, and their staffs to convey understanding of special districts’ services and the important roles they play in the daily lives of their constituents. Advocates communicate Coalition positions on current issues and legislation pending in the federal legislature, and they facilitate favorable policy outcomes.
