CALIFORNIA ALLIANCE OF LOCAL ELECTEDS
Guest: Assemblymember Chris Ward
Assemblymember Chris Ward was first elected in 2020, and reelected in 2022 to serve the 78th Assembly District representing San Diego and El Cajon. He was previously elevated to Speaker pro Tempore and Assistant Majority Leader and is currently serving as the Assembly designee on the California State Coastal Conservancy and Vice Chair of the California Legislative LGBTQ Caucus. He also serves as Chair of the Select Committee on Biotechnology.
Assemblymember Ward focuses his legislative efforts on housing, homelessness, climate, state budget and water supply issues, while balancing other key priorities concerning constituents.
Before being elected to office, Assemblymember Ward was the Chief of Staff to Senator Marty Block, coordinating constituent services, engaging public participation in the legislative process, and addressing the needs of schools and neighborhoods. He was also an environmental planner at the firm EDAW, working with local government to update land use policies and conduct CEQA environmental reviews.
In 2022 Assemblymember Chris Ward (D-San Diego) introduced AB 1771, the California Housing Speculation Act, to help make homes affordable again for the average Californian.
“Homes are places to live in. Homes help families preserve and grow their wealth. Homes aren’t a quick trade on the market – and this activity unchecked affects us all,” said Assemblymember Ward (D-San Diego).
