Senator Barbara Boxer Addresses KPA Staff
On Wednesday, August 26th, Khorrami Pollard & Abir LLP hosted a luncheon fundraiser for Senator Barbara Boxer in support of her 2010 re-election campaign. During her time in the KPA office she addressed the entire staff, touching on the importance of the work KPA does as a firm. Her motivating words were refreshing for a staff that has been working diligently to protect consumer’s rights.
A forceful advocate for families, children, consumers, the environment, and her State of California, Barbara Boxer became a United States Senator in January 1993 after 10 years of service in the House of Representatives. Elected to a third term in 2004, she received more than 6.9 million votes, the highest total for any Senate candidate in American history.
A national leader on environmental protection, Senator Boxer is the first woman to Chair the U.S. Senate’s Committee on Environment and Public Works (EPW). On the Committee, she advocates forcefully for clean air and water, with a particular focus on the fight against global warming. She also Chairs EPW’s Subcommittee on Public Sector Solutions to Global Warming, Oversight, and Children’s Health Protection.
In addition to her Chairmanship of the Committee on Environment and Public Works, Senator Boxer also serves on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Commerce Committee, is the Democratic Chief Deputy Whip, and serves on the Democratic Policy Committee’s Committee on Oversight and Investigations.
