Growers & Supporters Pack the House for Assemblyman Gonzalez Fundraiser
Over the weekend, the Western Tree Nut Association partnered with Blythe growers to raise money for Assemblyman Jeff Gonzalez. Over 60 local growers and businesses packed the house to show appreciation for the 2nd year Assemblyman. Gonzalez is the first republican to take the seat in 20 years, and his district was happy to show their support. Association President/CEO Roger Isom, Assistant Vice President of Technical Services Chris McGlothlin, as well as California Fresh Fruit Association’s Clayton Smith made the drive out to the desert for the event. Kicking off the event, Isom introduced the Assemblyman, highlighting Gonzalez’s commitment to his District in his first year in Sacramento. He then turned it over to the Assemblyman, who quickly endeared himself to the crowd by asking attendees to take out their phones and then provided his direct phone number so they can stay connected. Gonzalez highlighted the importance of having direct communication with his District so he knows his constituent’s position on bills as they work their way through Sacramento. After a lengthy question and answer portion, the Assemblyman took the time to personally thank each attendee for their support.
The Association would like to thank the event co-hosts Bart Fisher, California Fresh Fruit Association, California Citrus Mutual, Rain for Rent, RDO Equipment and the California Cotton Ginners and Growers Association. Additionally, the Association would like to thank the Mullian Family for agreeing to host everyone at their picturesque farm. This event would not have been possible without all of your hard work and support.
