Please join the Greater Tehachapi Chamber of Commerce at our February Network Luncheon, Tuesday, Feb. 20 at 12 p.m. at the Veteran's Hall, 125 West F St. Our guest speaker will be newly elected Congressman Kevin McCarthy.  Congressman McCarthy will provide a legislative update on his first seven weeks in Congress. 

Congressman McCarthy, a fourth-generation Kern County resident, was elected in November 2006 to represent the 22nd District of California in the United States House of Representatives.  McCarthy serves on the House Committee on Agriculture, which has jurisdiction over federal agricultural programs and reauthorization of the Farm Bill this year. In addition, in his first month in Congress, McCarthy was one of only three Republicans appointed by House Republican Leader John Boehner to serve on the House Administration Committee.  He was also selected to serve as an Assistant Whip on the House Republican Whip Team. Finally, McCarthy was named to the powerful House Republican Steering Committee, which controls the committee assignments of House Republican members. His rapid ascension into leadership roles has not gone unnoticed - a Capitol Hill newspaper selected McCarthy as one of its “rising stars” in the 110th Congress.

The cost is $15, which includes lunch.  Please make your reservations by calling the Chamber at 822-4180. Reservation deadline is Friday, Feb. 16.
