Legislative Affairs

The County Executive Office of Legislative Affairs (CEO-LA) is responsible for protecting the County’s interests in Sacramento and Washington, D.C. CEO-LA is the primary representative between the Board of Supervisors, county departments and agencies, and the County’s state and federal delegation. The Board adopts a Legislative Platform document in advance of each two-year legislative session, identifying legislative priorities, policy statements and proposals that benefit the County. CEO-LA uses the Platform to direct the County’s legislative advocacy strategies with its state and federal lobbyists to deliver positive outcomes and secure grant funding to provide critical services to our residents. These core functions are managed through the Legislative Affairs Program and the Grants Administration Program.
