Keynote Speaker: Congressman Jim
Costa
Member of the U.S. House of Representatives, California's 20th district During his first term in office, Congressman Costa put together a
broad-based bipartisan coalition aimed at developing a Regional Water Plan
for Central California. He also led the negotiations between the City of
Fresno and the State of California that secured the final funding necessary
to complete and open the new Amtrak station in Fresno. During the 109th
Congress Costa continued to be an outspoken advocate for building High Speed
Rail Systems in California and across the nation and played a leading role
in the bipartisan effort to secure Highway 99 funding in the infrastructure
bonds approved by California voters in November 2006. In addition, Costa was
a principal in the successful bipartisan effort to secure Congressional
approval of plans to keep Fresno's 144th Air National Guard Fighter Wing
viable well into the future. The principal author of state legislation to
create the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, Costa
continues to work with local and state officials to clean up the Valley's
air.
Costa's legislative initiatives have including sponsoring a bill directed at
resolving the beef crisis between the United States and Japan, legislation
to extend the Farm Bill and helping draft the legislation which is a result
of the Friant Water Settlement. He also was one of the leaders in the
successful attempt to retain VOCA funding.
His efforts during the 109th Congress won Costa recognition from National
Organization for Victim Assistance, which named him recipient of the Donald
E. Santarelli Public Policy Award for demonstrating outstanding public
policy leadership that has national impact. The American Farm Bureau
Federation, named him a recipient of its "Friend of the Farm Bureau" award
and Costa received the "Spirit of Enterprise" award by the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce.
2010 Legislator of the Year: Clovis Mayor Pro Tem Jose
Flores
As a captain for the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office, law enforcement has
been a professional focus most of his adult life. Jose is also sensitive to
challenges facing small business owners and others in the private sector.
That’s because 35 years ago his parents opened the doors to a small Mexican
food restaurant in Old Town Clovis. Working for them, he learned the
importance of community support for a small business. He also discovered the
value of a well-run local government, one that encourages businesses while
keeping a close eye on government spending and local taxes. It’s the same
conscientious approach behind the success of a newly developing Central
Valley Research and Technology Park in Clovis. On the 180-acre campus, sites
of up to three acres are available to technology-focused firms looking to
expand, start up or relocate.
