“I realized that one person’s effort, through grassroots, can really make impact. So that led the chain reaction of us doing policy work. We ended up getting the bill passed in the state legislature and the governor signed it into law. This is AB 626 The California Homemade Food Act, which allows each home food kitchen operator to generate up to $50,000 of revenue cooking out of their home kitchen. People ask me, what’s the one thing you’re most proud of in your career and I can easily say that’s it.”
