# Democratic Lawmakers and Presidential Hopefuls at 2028 Strategy Conference

The Democratic lawmakers’ and governors’ strategy conference, presented on C-SPAN on November 13, 2026, focused on affordability, housing, healthcare, energy, and the party’s governing priorities. No contract awards, vendor selections, bid approvals, or other procurement actions were identified. Speakers discussed legislation and policy proposals rather than purchasing decisions, including permitting reform and large-scale housing construction. A California assembly member cited a state law exempting infill housing from environmental review requirements, which she said had enabled nearly 20,000 housing units to be permitted in its first year; House Democrats also expressed support for pursuing permitting reform.
