Government Affairs

Orange County is a global economic powerhouse.
Very few regions in the nation compare as hubs of innovation for
such a broad sector of industries.

To foster Orange County’s economic growth, Orange County Business Council’s Government Affairs team advocates on behalf of its members locally, in Sacramento and in Washington, D.C. By monitoring and regularly taking positions on legislation centered on its core initiatives—economic development, housing, infrastructure and workforce—OCBC fosters pro-business outcomes.

The Government Affairs team also leads advocacy trips to Sacramento, hosts monthly committee meetings with appointed and elected officials, and publishes resources such as OCBC’s Legislative Action Guide and annual Legislative Scorecard.
