State Sen. Will Brownsberger seeks residents interested in learning about the functions of the Massachusetts State Legislature during the upcoming Citizens’ Legislative Seminar at the State House. See more info provided by Brownsberger’s office, below.
Senator Brownsberger has the opportunity to nominate one or possibly a few constituents for participation in the 91st Citizens’ Legislative Seminar (CLS) presented by Senate President Karen Spilka. Please let us know if you are interested in being nominated.
CLS is a free educational program organized by the Senate. The Spring 2026 CLS Seminar will be taking place on Tuesday, March 24th and Wednesday, March 25th, 2026 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each day.
Nominees from this office must be residents of Senator Brownsberger’s district and be able to attend both days of the seminar. (Non-constituents should contact their own state senator to request nomination.)
CLS, offered twice a year, aims to better educate the public on the functions of the Massachusetts State Legislature. The curriculum includes the history of the legislature, the legislative process, the state budget, and a simulated legislative hearing and a simulated Senate Session held in the Senate Chamber where participants use what they have learned to actively experience the legislative process. Presentations are made by Senators and Senate staff.
