Tim Storey of the National Conference of State Legislatures

CAPITOL WEEKLY PODCAST: The National Conference of State Legislatures was created by state legislators and legislative staff in 1975. NCSL serves America’s 50 states, commonwealths, territories and the District of Columbia with access to bipartisan policy research, training resources and technical assistance and hosts the annual NCSL Legislative Summit, the largest policy meeting in the US. We’re joined today by Tim Storey, who has headed the organization since 2019. We asked him what the ‘hot’ topics were at this year’s Summit, how his members feel about the Redistricting wave sweeping the nation, and how the organization has maintained its bipartisan status in a deeply partisan era.
