Before State Senator Andreas Borgeas was elected to to represent the 8th District in November, he spent time as a Fresno city councilmember, and later a county supervisor. Now, he represents a much larger region that extends as far north as Sacramento County, and as far south as Tulare County. But Borgeas says it was his time in local politics, occupying non-partisan positions, that taught him how to work with colleagues and seek solutions.
Listen to the interview above to hear Borgeas talk about the legislation he’s prioritizing, including a law to strengthen penalties for hit-and-run accidents, and his thoughts on Governor Gavin Newsom’s limited High Speed Rail plans.
