takes time. Considering these challenges and the multitude

COSMETICS LEGISLATION
At the end of 2015, the Mary Kay
Public Affairs secured
Congressman Pete Sessions as a
sponsor of federal cosmetics
legislation. In November 2015,
Sessions’ introduced HR 4075,
“The Safe Cosmetics
Modernization Act.” This
legislation will provide a national
uniform standard for product
safety and strengthen the
oversight power of the U.S. Food
and Drug Administration with
respect to cosmetic products.
In December 2015, Public Affairs also secured
Congressman Bill Flores as a co-sponsor for the bill. Just
this past month, local Congresswoman Eddie Bernice
Johnson also agreed to sponsor the bill as well. We are
excited to have support from three Texas elected officials!

 

Public Affairs, partnering with Sales Force Communication
team, corresponded with sales force members in Sessions’
and Flores’ districts to make them aware of the
Congressmen’s important work being done on their behalf.
Many of the sales force members reached out to their
Congressman to personally thank them for their support of
critical legislation that affects their ability to sell Mary Kay
products. Throughout 2016, Public Affairs will continue to
seek sponsors for this key legislation.
