LWV Cupertino-Sunnyvale Legislative Interview
Every year, the League of Women Voters of California (LWVC) encourages local League members to interview their state legislators or staff. Legislative interviews are a powerful tool - increasing League visibility, gathering information, and raising awareness among California’s state representatives about our interest in policies they are considering. LWVC provides questions to ask the legislators.
League of Women Voters of Cupertino-Sunnyvale members, Pam Anderson, Roberta Hollimon and Nina Wong-Dobkin and LWV San Jose-Santa Clara member Roma Dawson, interviewed Assemblymember Evan Low, Assembly District 26. In answer to the question about open meetings, Assemblymember Low recognized that the challenge here is to balance access and the ‘outdated’ requirements for holding meetings in person; technology is a key component and can make virtual meetings more accessible for the public, as it reduces the time commitment to attend a meeting.
