n January 25, California’s District 47 Assemblymember Eloise Reyes held a campaign kickoff event in Colton on Saturday, Jan. 25. Over 250 elected officials, community members and volunteers attended the event in support of reelecting Reyes for assembly. “The campaign kickoff was an incredible success.

It’s been my pleasure to bring the voices of the 47th district to Sacramento,” said Reyes.
