Assemblymember Evan Low, D-Silicon Valley, was named 2017 Legislator of the Year by the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA) at a reception Tuesday evening.
Low has stood out since the beginning of his career as a public servant. He was the youngest Asian-American legislator to be elected to California’s Assembly, attended Harvard’s Executives in Government certificate program and founded a caucus focused on educating legislators on the ever-changing tech field.
The California Legislative Technology and Innovation Caucus, which Low co-founded with Assemblymember Ian Calderon, D-Whittier, encourages discussion between legislators regarding technology and helps to minimize the gap between government and innovation.
