Each year the League of Women Voters of California asks local Leagues to interview their state legislators. As we have in the past, we teamed up with members from Leagues in Monterey and Santa Cruz to interview State Senator John Laird, and State Assemblymembers Dawn Addis and Gregg Hart. LWVC provided two questions regarding major issues for California and the legislator’s personal legislative priorities. The interview teams then developed locally focused questions on issues such as battery storage safety, wind energy, sea rise, immigration enforcement, and access to health care in our counties. The interviews took place from January 14 to February 19 and were conducted via Zoom.
