How does Natasha Nicholes measure the success of her meetings with legislators like Rep. Duckworth and Rep. LaHood?

Success in meetings with legislators gets measured less by the photo-op and more by what happens next.

From those visits with Rep. Duckworth and Rep. LaHood, success looks like:

1. Having a receptive conversation where staff ask questions and want more information (as mentioned about Rep. Duckworth’s office)
2. Securing clear follow-up steps—like requests for data, stories, or future check-ins
3. Seeing legislators support or consider policies that align with the advocacy focus (like #shotatlife and #VaccinesWork)
