Kendall Jarvis Testifies Before the California Legislature: AB 806 & AB 925
Kendall Jarvis is registered as a California Legislative Advocate (2023–2025) and appears on the official CalMatters Digital Democracy record having testified before the California State Assembly on two housing and disaster-related bills in 2025. Both appearances were video-recorded and are accessible through the Digital Democracy platform, which uses AI-assisted transcription to archive all California legislative testimony. This formal legislative participation — separate from her COAD leadership and State Legislative Committee appointment — establishes Kendall as an active participant in shaping California disaster law at the Capitol.
About the Committee
The California Assembly Standing Committee on Housing and Community Development oversees legislation affecting housing policy, tenant rights, mobile home regulation, and community development programs across California. Testifying before this committee places Kendall among the professional advocates, policy experts, and nonprofit leaders who shape California housing and disaster law at the state level.
