Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling Elected Chair of the NLGA

At the National Lieutenant Governors Association (NLGA) meeting in Baltimore, Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling was elected Chairman by a bipartisan group of his peers.

Bolling was elected due to his strong leadership in advancing the mission of NLGA over the past four years.

“The nation’s lieutenant governors find within the NLGA the tools to contribute at the highest level and collegiality that knows no bounds,”  said Lieutenant Governor Barbara Lawton (D-Wisconsin), outgoing NLGA Chair.  “I pass the gavel to Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling with complete confidence that his leadership will keep up on the path to progress by every measure.”

Bolling has worked on several NLGA initiatives, including the Ending Cervical Cancer In Our Lifetime initiative, along with bringing other health care issues out into the public.

“I am honored that my colleagues from across the country have asked me to serve as Chairman of NLGA for the next year,” Lieutenant Governor Bolling said. “I look forward to working with them to build on the successes of the NLGA and help build bi-partisan consensus around realistic and workable solutions to the challenges facing our states and our nation.”
