Commissioner Aura Vasquez, member of the Los Angeles Board of Water and Power, joins us this week to talk about what it's like to be a member of the Board for the largest publicly owned utility in the country. We discuss her great love for her city, her plans to get Los Angeles completely on renewable energy, and how she works with local government and fellow Angelenos to find paths to this goal that are equitable and effective. We also add Carmen Yulín Cruz, current mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico and tireless advocate for her constituents, to our Wall of Inspirational Women.
