California State Senator Joel Anderson (R-Alpine) has announced that his annual Holiday Legislative Open House will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 7, at Toyota of El Cajon, 965 Arnele Ave., El Cajon.<\/p>\n

The free event is an opportunity for Anderson and his staff to meet with constituents and hear ideas on new legislation for 2017. All attendees will receive a 2016 legislative update and an opportunity to submit ideas to improve state government.<\/p>\n

Sen. Anderson represents the 38th Senate District in the California Legislature, which includes Lemon Grove, El Cajon, La Mesa, Santee, Poway, Escondido, San Marcos, Lakeside, Valley Center, Rancho Santa Fe, Julian, Ramona, Rancho San Diego, Bonsall, Borrego Springs and Fallbrook. He was first elected to the State Assembly in 2006 and to the state Senate in 2010.<\/p>\n

Anderson says several of the bills he has introduced in the past originated from suggestions by attendees of this annual event.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy top priority is making government work for you,\u201d Anderson said. \u201cThis event gives me an opportunity to hear directly from my constituents about their opinions and legislative ideas. Forty to 60 percent of the bills I introduce come from the people I serve. I want to hear directly from you, about your concerns and your ideas for improving state government.\u201d<\/p>\n

At last year\u2019s open house, several constituents praised Anderson\u2019s local approach to legislation.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople come to this event because they can speak directly to Joel as a legislator,\u201d said president and CEO of East County Economic Deployment Council Jo Marie Diamond.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is truly nice to have someone up in Sacramento that cares about us and will listen to our responses and then do something about it,\u201d said Danny O\u2019Brien, the owner of O\u2019Brien Insurance Agency in Santee. \u201cHe is a man of action and he will get things done for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c[Senator Anderson] really wants to make sure that young people of today actually have a place for their future,\u201d Ramona Unified School District Board member Rodger Dohm said.<\/p>\n

Donated hors d\u2019oeuvres and refreshments will be provided by local businesses and community partners.<\/p>\n
