(TORRANCE, CA) – Today, Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi (D-Torrance) led a delegation of state and local officials to meet with American Honda President and Chief Executive Officer Takuji Yamada at their Torrance headquarters. In attendance were Michael Rossi, Senior Advisor on Jobs and Business Development to Governor Jerry Brown, and Torrance Mayor Patrick Furey, among others.

Assemblymember Muratsuchi organized the visit as part of his ongoing efforts to work with South Bay employers and identify how the State of California can support their growth. Previously, Muratsuchi organized similar visits to South Bay companies such as Space X and Verengo Solar, out of which Muratsuchi identified and wrote new laws to improve the state’s business climate.

“As the State Assemblymember representing the South Bay, I wanted to express my appreciation and support for a major employer like American Honda,” said Muratsuchi. “I offered my assistance to help American Honda grow and create jobs in California.”

“California’s economy is coming back, but we still have a lot of work to do to improve the state’s business climate,” added Muratsuchi. “I will continue to work with South Bay employers to help them grow and create jobs.”
