The Madison-based Center for Media and Democracy filed a lawsuit June 6 to obtain records from Vukmir related to last May’s ALEC meeting in Oklahoma City.

In one email, Christie Herrera, vice president of policy for the Florida-based Foundation for Government Accountability, a conservative think tank with a registered lobbyist, wrote to Vukmir and three other legislators from other states thanking them for sponsoring a resolution opposing the expansion of state Medicaid programs under the Affordable Care Act and coaching them on what to say.

“Each of you will need to introduce the bill,” Herrera wrote. “As such I have written opening remarks that are also attached to this e-mail. ALEC had a (ridiculous) concern that the task force debate would be ‘one-sided,’ so I have focused each of your remarks on addressing at least one pro-expansion talking point.”

According to the documents, Vukmir did not plan to attend the task force meeting or deliver any prepared remarks. She later sent a text message asking how things went, and Herrera responded, “Passed unanimously. Great job Madame Sponsor!”

The documents also include an agenda for the board meeting with reports from various subcommittees about the status of model legislation.
