DePaul Student Government Elects New Representatives

The 2025 legislative sessions are underway in various states, with the Kentucky House having convened on January 10, where members voted to pass HB 1, a bill that would reduce the state's individual income tax to 3.5% by 2026. The Georgia General Assembly also commenced its session on January 13, welcoming 18 new House members and focusing on economic growth and bipartisan efforts. The current Congress features a notable drop in female representation, with only 18 new female representatives and three new female senators, raising concerns about diversity in legislative roles. This shift comes after a peak in representation, as women accounted for over a quarter of members in previous sessions. The legislative environment is buzzing with discussions on pressing state issues, tax reforms, and representation, signaling a busy year ahead for lawmakers. Overall, these sessions reflect ongoing changes and challenges within state and national governance structures.
