Which legislators have cosponsored midwives and birth centers?
One way that the 160 State Representatives and 40 State Senators in the Massachusetts legislature show support for policies is through cosponsorships. Once a bill or budget amendment is filed, legislators can sign on to cosponsor it. Check out our honor roll below.
Do you know who your State Rep & State Senator are? Some districts have changed this year. Look up your state legislators here. Legislators can still sign on to cosponsor bills if they haven’t already.
