About the Program

How can California legislators work across the aisle to solve our state’s most pressing issues? Join PPIC president and CEO Tani Cantil-Sakauye for a wide-ranging conversation with Assembly Republican Leader Heath Flora and Democratic Assemblymember José Luis Solache, Jr.

PPIC’s Speaker Series on California’s Future invites thought leaders and changemakers with diverse perspectives to participate critically, constructively, and collaboratively in public conversations. The purpose is to give Californians a better understanding of how our leaders are addressing the challenges facing our state.
