Last Monday, CCIA's Cannabis Action PAC hosted a successful fundraising event in San Diego with local Assemblymember Todd Gloria & Assemblymember Lorena Gonzalez in attendance. Both spoke about working more hand-in-hand with CCIA, our members, and the cannabis industry at large. They both stressed the importance of enforcement and issues with the unregulated market. Monday's event was a great success thanks to the diligent organizing efforts of CCIA's own Kimberly Simms, and our sponsors: JHY Partners, Law Offices of Kimberly Simms, McElfresh Law, Solid Accounting Services, Cannabis Connect, Therapy Tonics, Flow Kana, and Murchison & Company, LLP! Thank you again to everyone who supported this event.
