RCRC’s Hometown California Makes a Visit to Our Nation’s Capital, Releases California Ballot Measure Episode in Spanish, and More

Last week, Hometown California visited our Nation’s Capital to sit down for some socially-distanced conversations with some of RCRC’s advocacy partners and friends. Recorded on the day President Trump was diagnosed with the coronavirus, conversations took on a new perspective as the host and guests were processing the latest developments in the year that has been anything but ordinary.

With less than 30 days until the November election, RCRC’s Vice President of Governmental Affairs, Paul A. Smith spoke with Leah Askarinam for an election check-in. Leah is the Editor-in-Chief of the Hotline at the National Journal and has been a guest on three previous episodes of Hometown California, providing her insight about the Presidential race and key congressional races.
