WASHINGTON – Rep. Josh Harder (CA-09) hosted dozens of local leaders, community advocates, and Valley elected officials on Capitol Hill this week for the annual San Joaquin One Voice advocacy trip. One Voice connects Valley advocates with federal lawmakers to discuss regional priorities and collaborate on future funding opportunities.
“My number one job is showing up and listening to Valley issues, and it was great to welcome so many Valley leaders to Washington,” said Rep. Harder. “The best ideas don’t come from bureaucrats sitting behind desks in D.C., they come from the people on the ground who know exactly what their communities need. I’m grateful for the important discussions and exciting opportunities that come out of this annual tradition, and I’m going to keep working with local leaders to make sure our families have the federal support they deserve.”
Throughout the week, Harder held discussions and speaker series with a wide range of Valley representatives, including San Joaquin Area Flood Control Agency, Stockton Metropolitan Airport, and the City of Mountain House.
