Following that meeting, Congresswoman Roybal-Allard said of Speaker Nunez: "It was important that Speaker Nunez came out to Washington, D.C. to discuss California issues and the state's budget needs with members of the California Democratic Congressional Delegation. Given the extremely tight budgetary constraints at both the state and federal level, it is critical that we work together to ensure that California does not lose precious federal resources that the state needs to address key funding priorities."
