For more than three decades, Mr. Bustamante has advocated on behalf of consumer interests, worked for some of California’s most successful elected officials, and represented many of California’s most influential companies.

The former Press Secretary and Deputy Chief of Staff to Governor Gray Davis, Bustamante was involved in myriad issues affecting California consumers. A tireless advocate on behalf of the Latino community, he has worked with some of the Latino community’s most important organizations.

Bustamante has a long and successful history of public service which has led to a deep understanding of policy issues affecting California, including green technology, energy conservation, health care, K-12 education, land use, development and environmental issues, agricultural and farm labor matters, immigration reform, transportation initiatives, and voting rights. A Los Angeles native, he was the first Latino to serve as Press Secretary to a California Governor, appointed by Governors Davis and Schwarzenegger to serve as a Board Member to the Agricultural Labor Relations Board, and was a gubernatorial appointee to the state’s Voter Modernization Board.
