Previously a Napa city councilman, Supervisor Pedroza now represents District 4, which includes portions of the city of Napa (downtown to North Napa), Silverado Country Club, Monticello Park, Circle Oaks, Lake Berryessa, Soda Canyon and Gordon Valley.
"I am honored to be elected to serve California as president of the Latino Caucus of California Counties," Pedroza said.

We hope to use our voices of local county governments to better address these issues in the coming year."
