As the state Legislature geared up for its next two-year session Dec. 4, CTA President Barbara E. Kerr, Vice President David A. Sanchez and Secretary-Treasurer Dean E. Vogel were in the Capitol to witness the swearing-in ceremonies for new legislators. A record 48 seats changed hands in the November elections. Among the freshmen Assembly members are CTA member Tony Mendoza (second from left) and CTA staff member Kevin de Leon (third from right). They are pictured here with fellow freshman legislator, Anthony Portantino (third from left), at a Summer Institute reception. Mendoza, a member of UTLA, serves on CTA’s State Council.
