A Note to Our Members: Rocklin Representation in State Leadership
Dear Rocklin Area Chamber Members,
As part of the Rocklin Area Chamber's participation in the United Chambers Advocacy Network (UCAN), we closely monitor legislative developments that may impact our local business community and keep our members informed of important changes at the state level.
UCAN recently shared an important leadership update from the California State Assembly. On August 3, the Assembly Republican Caucus elected Assemblymember Ali Macedo (R-Tulare) as its new Republican Leader. As part of that transition, Assembly member Joe Patterson (R-Rocklin) was elected Minority Deputy Leader, placing Rocklin's representative within the Assembly Republican leadership team.
What Does This Mean for Rocklin?
While this change does not directly impact existing laws or pending legislation, Assemblymember Patterson's new position gives our region greater representation within Assembly leadership and an enhanced opportunity for the voice of Rocklin's business community to be heard.
His expanded role may provide increased visibility for our region as discussions continue around issues important to local businesses, including economic development, housing, transportation, infrastructure, public safety, workforce development, energy, insurance, and business regulation.
Continuing to Advocate for Our Business Community
Through our participation in UCAN, the Rocklin Area Chamber works alongside chambers and business organizations throughout California to stay informed on legislative issues and advocate for policies that support economic growth and a strong, competitive business environment.
We will continue to monitor developments at the Capitol and keep our members informed when issues arise that may impact your businesses and our community.
Thank you for your continued engagement and investment in the Rocklin business community.
Rocklin Area Chamber of Commerce
