Mr. President,
On behalf of the National Conference of State Legislatures, we extend our congratulations to you and Vice President-elect Vance on your election and the trust that the American people have placed in you.
As the bipartisan-governed organization representing the legislatures of the states, territories, and commonwealths of the United States, NCSL is committed to enhancing the role of states and state legislatures in the federal system. We support state sovereignty, flexibility and protection from unfunded federal mandates and unwarranted federal preemption.
We enjoyed a strong working relationship with your first administration and look forward to working with you over the next four years to address the important issues facing our nation, particularly those impacting our nation’s states and territories. We stand ready to assist during the transition and beyond.
Sincerely,
Wayne Harper
