So many RNs got involved last year to ensure the passage of AB 1102, our Whistleblower Protection bill. We called legislators, visited local district offices, sent emails and even traveled to Sacramento to testify in hearings. Many also attended "Meet'n'Greet" events to talk to legislators and candidates about this and other important nursing legislation.
On April 19, 2018, we recognized those RNs, along with key "Healthcare Champions" in our state legislature.
In attendance with RNs that evening were:
- Senator Dr. Ed Hernandez (SD 22 - San Gabriel Valley)
- Senator Connie Leyva (SD 20 - Inland Empire)
- Assemblymember Miguel Santiago (AD 53 - Downtown Los Angeles and East Los Angeles)
- Assemblymember Chris Holden (AD 41 - San Gabriel Valley)
- Assemblymember Freddie Rodriguez (AD 52 - Inland Empire)
- Assemblymember Eloise Reyes (AD 47 - Inland Empire)
- Assemblymember Wendy Carrillo (AD 51 - Los Angeles and East Los Angeles)
- Assemblymember Ed Chau (AD49 – San Gabriel Valley)
