SACRAMENTO – Today, Assemblymember Laura Friedman (D-Glendale) was appointed by Speaker Anthony Rendon (D-Lakewood) to serve as Chair of the influential Assembly Transportation Committee.

Every year, the Legislature celebrates the contributions to society made by remarkable women throughout our state by honoring a “Woman of the Year” from each Senate and Assembly district. Traditionally, a formal ceremony is held in the Capitol. Due to COVID-19, the in-person ceremony was postponed.
