The East Bay is fortunate to have many environmental champions who have already made the leap into elected office.

What’s it’s been like? What advice do they have for others considering taking the plunge?
Speakers included Oakland City Attorney Barbara Parker and Contra Costa County Supervisor Diane Burgis.
