CFRW DISTINGUISHED SPEAKER SERIES – Candidates for CA Lieutenant Governor
Candidates for California Lieutenant Governor
Keep the momentum going on Tuesday, May 19 as CFRW hosts candidates for California Lieutenant Governor as part of our Distinguished Speaker Series.
All Republican candidates were invited to participate, and we look forward to hearing from those who were able to join us for this important statewide conversation. While this role may not always be in the spotlight, the Lieutenant Governor plays a vital part in shaping policy, influencing key decisions, and stepping in when leadership is needed.
The Lieutenant Governor is responsible for:
-
Serving as Acting Governor when the Governor is out of state
-
Sitting on key boards and commissions overseeing higher education, land use, and natural resources
-
Helping guide decisions impacting the UC and CSU systems
-
Serving on the State Lands Commission, managing California’s public lands and coastline
-
Casting tie-breaking votes in certain state boards and commissions
-
Supporting economic development and statewide policy initiatives
This is your opportunity to hear directly from the candidates, gain insight into their vision, and come ready with questions as we head into the Primary election.
