FCNL and Bradley Whitford welcomed Democratic and Republican representatives to FCNL’s Congressional Welcome Reception. At the reception the representatives spoke of the importance of civic advocacy and the need to work together. A great way to kick off our work with Congress this year!
Wonderful to have Bradley Whitford with us to spread the message of #LoveThyNeighbor (No Exceptions) at our welcome reception for the 115th Congress!
