An exciting perk of being a member of California Environmental Voters (EnviroVoters) is getting to vote on key officer positions.
We would not be achieving major climate, environmental, and democracy victories without members like you. Your time, resources, and enthusiasm are critical to our work — helping to hold corporate polluters accountable, elect climate champions to office, and push them to take bold action on climate at all levels of government.
And now, we hope you’ll be involved in deciding EnviroVoters’ future by voting on two officer positions: Secretary and Membership Representative.
Secretary and Membership Representative are key roles as we continue to shape how California protects our environment and leads on climate at a global scale. This is why we are asking for your vote!
We are pleased to present you with two strong nominees each for Secretary and Membership Representative:
Andy Okun for Secretary
Andy has been a board member of EnviroVoters since 2000. He was president of the American Go Association from 2012 to 2022, and a board member before that. He received a BSc in Physics from University College London, and a Diploma in International and Comparative Politics and an MSc in International Relations from the London School of Economics. He worked previously as a legal journalist and in the music industry as co-owner of Cherry Lane Music Publishing.
Victoria Rome for Secretary
Victoria is the California Government Affairs Director for the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), where she works with the state legislature and administrative agencies to further the environmental community’s agenda. Prior to the NRDC, Victoria was the legislative coordinator for California Youth Connection, a nonprofit foster youth advocacy organization. She also worked in the California State Capitol as a legislative consultant for the Assembly Human Services Committee and former Assemblymembers Tom Bates and Dion Aroner. She holds a B.A. in political science from UCLA and an M.A. in international affairs from California State University, Sacramento.
Oscar Lopez for Membership Representative
Oscar is the Political Director of SEIU CA, the largest labor union in California. He has been instrumental in leading the California groundswell that helped flip the House in 2018, in strengthening the state’s pro-worker legislative majorities, and in passing significant revenue measures on the ballot that have brought billions to educating our children, funding vital local community services like public health, and providing assistance to those most in need. Prior to SEIU, Lopez worked on congressional and presidential campaigns in southwestern states, as well as serving as a Director of City’s Boys and Girls Club in New Mexico.
Wendy-Sue Rosen for Membership Representative
Wendy-Sue is a community advocate, land use policy consultant, and environmental activist. She currently serves on eight boards dealing with issues ranging from responsible and balanced land use policies, air and water quality, protection of the Santa Monica Mountains, open space preservation, public access to trails, wildlife connectivity, and the health of the environment. She has been recognized by city, state, and federal agencies and elected officials, including being named “Woman of the Year” in 2007 by Assemblymember Mike Feuer. Wendy-Sue works tirelessly with the hope that together we can find solutions to conquer the climate crisis, end global warming, and bring balance back to the planet.
