Our annual joint meeting with the Sacramento Chapter of APWA is right around the corner and always draws a big crowd. This years meeting should carry on that tradition with Senator Anthony Canella as our special guest.
Senator Cannella represents the people of the 12th District, taking in most of Stanislaus, Merced, Madera and San Benito Counties, as well as a small piece of Monterey County. He began his service in local government on the City of Ceres Planning Commission. He went on to the City Council and then two terms as Mayor. In 2010, Anthony was elected to the State Senate.
Senator Cannella is a small business owner, family man, and a lifelong Central Valley resident. He graduated from the University of California, Davis with a degree in Civil Engineering.
In the Senate, he serves as the chairman of the Agriculture Committee and vice chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee. He is also a member of the Senate Natural Resources and Water Committee, the Senate Governmental Organization Committee, the Joint Arts Committee and the Joint Rules Committee.
Senator Cannella was raised with an appreciation for public service that he learned from his father, former Assemblyman Sal Cannella. He and his wife, Julie, have four children.
Join ACEC and APWA members on Friday, January 6th to hear from the only civil engineer serving in the California Senate!
