 Our scheduled guest speaker, Jordan Cunningham, Assemblyman for the 35th District was unable to attend due to family illness.  In his place, Compatriot John Siler introduced Keegan Koberl, District Coordinator for Assemblyman Cunningham as the guest speaker.

 Keegan Koberl graduated from Cal Poly in 2016 with a Bachelor’s Degree in History.   Prior to joining Assemblyman Cunningham’s office, Keegan worked as a Legislative Aide in the California State Assembly.  Previous to that, Keegan was a student intern assigned to US Department of State.

 Keegan spoke of the many accomplishments by Jordan Cunningham since taking office.  Some of Assembly Bills sponsored/written by Assemblyman Cunningham include spearheading the funding to expand/repair the Highway 41-46 corridor.  This stretch of highway between San Luis Obispo County and Kern County is locally known as “blood alley”.  It has been the sight of several traffic fatalities.  Other legislation include:

 SB 1 Jordan Cunningham opposed this controversial legislation raising the tax on sales of gas.

AB 13 Background checks for civilian employees within law enforcement
