3. Raising your community's voice in Sacramento with Assembly Majority Leader Eloise Gómez Reyes

There are few lawmakers I admire more than California Assembly Majority Leader Eloise Gómez Reyes (D-47). The first Latina to hold this leadership position, Leader Reyes is an unequivocal champion for working families in her district and throughout the state. 

 

Her emphatic advice for advocates: remember your true power. You are the ones who send representatives to Sacramento to give voice to the community. You can also hold them to account if they lose their way.

 

I am grateful to the Majority Leader for taking time out of her busy schedule to share her wisdom. 

 

We discuss:

- building long-term relationships with lawmakers 

- securing votes outside your traditional base of support

- legislative priorities for the Inland Empire in 2022
