California State Senator Hannah-Beth Jackson ’71 on her eight years representing the state’s 19th District, which encompasses the Santa Barbara region, in the Santa Barbara News-Press. Her legislative achievements have focused on equal pay, environmental protection, and regulation of the pharmaceutical industry. “California has always been in my heart,” she said, adding that she will continue to advocate for workplace diversity and greener environmental policies after she is out of office. Due to term limits, Jackson’s time in the Senate will end after this year.
