ML Strategies Capitol Hill & Executive Branch Fall Preview
September 6, 2018|
With Labor Day now behind us, Washington returns to a fairly significant workload for September and October in the run-up to the midterm elections in November. The House is in session for the next two weeks before returning home for a state work period (Sept. 17-21).
