The Office of Assemblymember Heather Hadwick announces Hadwick has been selected for the prestigious Rodel Fellowship Class of 2027, joining 24 other state and local elected leaders from across the country. She is the only California official in the class.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is an incredible honor, especially as I finish my first term in the Assembly,\u201d Hadwick said. \u201cI came to Sacramento determined to work hard, build relationships with my colleagues and deliver results for the people of District 1. Being selected for this fellowship is meaningful recognition of that approach, and I\u2019m grateful to the colleagues who saw something in my work and leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n
Founded in 2005, the Rodel Fellowship brings elected leaders from both political parties together for three multiday seminars over two years. Guided by leading scholars, fellows discuss ethical leadership, democratic principles and the responsibilities of public service. More than 450 elected officials have participated in the program.<\/p>\n
California alumni include former Vice President Kamala Harris, U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla, Attorney General Rob Bonta, former Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, State Treasurer Fiona Ma and former Assembly Republican Leaders Kristin Olsen and Chad Mayes. Other alumni include former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg and former U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo be selected for a fellowship with such a remarkable history, including leaders who have served in Assembly Republican leadership, is especially meaningful to me,\u201d Hadwick said. \u201cWe may come from different places and hold different views, but public service asks all of us to listen, build relationships and do the work.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hadwick represents California\u2019s 1st Assembly District, spanning 11 rural counties from the Oregon border through the Sierra Nevada. Before joining the Assembly, she worked as a teacher, school safety specialist, dispatch supervisor and deputy director of emergency services. She also served as a school board president and owns Hadwick Family Farm with her family in Modoc County. In the Assembly, she serves as vice chair of the Agriculture and Emergency Management committees.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m proud of what we\u2019ve accomplished for rural Northern California in my first term, and I know there is much more to do,\u201d Hadwick said. \u201cI want to bring the experiences of our farmers, families and small communities into this national conversation. I\u2019m looking forward to learning from my classmates, building lasting relationships and bringing new ideas home to the district.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Office of Assemblymember Heather Hadwick announces Hadwick has been selected for the prestigious Rodel Fellowship Class of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":486105,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[7,9,8],"class_list":["post-486104","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/486104","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=486104"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/486104\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/486105"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=486104"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=486104"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=486104"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
