legislative priorities
Congress's to-do list
Legislative priorities are the issues, bills, or policy goals that a lawmaker, political party, or administration considers most important and intends to pursue first.
The term acknowledges that time and political capital are limited, so not everything can receive equal attention: Healthcare reform tops the governor's legislative priorities this session.
Campaign promises often become legislative priorities once a candidate takes office.
