Marin Republican Women Federated

Luncheon Meeting, Wednesday, October 17th

11:30 am – 1:00 pm

The Club Restaurant, McInnis Park, 350 Smith Ranch Rd, San Rafael

Speaker: Allison Olson, CFRW Legislative Advocate

Topic: An Up-To-The-Minute Analysis of Ballot Measures and Current Legislation

Allison Olson is the Legislative Advocate for the California Federation of Republican Women. She has held this position since 2009. As part of her assignment, she tracks and analyzes California state legislation, lobbies on behalf of the CFRW, and keeps members of the Federation educated and informed about what is happening in Sacramento. When she speaks to us she will update us on the latest changes in legislation and how the changes may influence the upcoming election.

Allison majored in Political Science at UC Davis, and since that time she has remained closely connected to politics in California. In fact, prior to accepting her position with the CFRW, she was the Deputy Finance Director for the McClintock for Congress campaign. In college, she chaired the UC Davis College Republicans. She was awarded a fellowship with the Foundation for Defense of Democracies in April 2007–2008. It was during this time that she studied with counter terrorism experts in Israel and Washington, D.C. She remains actively involved in defending Israel through her participation with “Stand With Us,” which is a non-profit organization that supports Israel through international education.

Allison currently resides in Davis with her husband, Rob, and their two sons, Rowan and Liam.

The CFRW Capitol Update is emailed monthly by Allison to all CFRW members. If you are not receiving this email, let me know.
