The office of California Gov. Gavin Newsom has announced a partnership on a new project with California Forward (CA FWD) and former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
Launched in 2008, CA FWD drives collective action to identify solutions that can be taken to scale to meet the challenges facing the state. The organization has had a successful track record of proposing, endorsing and promoting a variety of reforms that positively impacted the residents of California, according to the CA FWD website.
With a focus on federal infrastructure spending, the project adds Villaraigosa as a senior adviser to the administration on statewide infrastructure priorities and CA FWD, providing overall strategy and support on public engagement.
“California Forward is excited to be involved in this project, which builds upon our existing work and successes, to ensure that the strategy developed reflects the priorities of the state’s regions,” said Dr. Micah Weinberg, CE
