CSDA’s strength is in our membership. Arguably, the key to special districts’ efficiency and effectiveness is their focused service. Similarly, CSDA’s success in the Capitol is largely dependent upon our ability to unify our more than 1,000 members behind a focused purpose. To do that, we need your response to our Advocacy Priorities Survey.
With the 2023-2024 State Legislative Session officially in the books as of August 31, it is now time for CSDA to begin preparing for the 2024-2025 Session. Please take a moment to help guide our advocacy by completing this survey no later than September 20.
Soon after the November election, legislators will gather in Sacramento to swear-in for the 2025-2026 State Legislative Session and CSDA’s advocacy priorities will be determined by our
membership. CSDA’s Legislative Committee will meet in October to provide direction to our lobbyists using your responses as guidance.
To best represent and serve California’s 2,000 special districts, we depend on your input.
CSDA focuses our legislative advocacy on those issues the impact all types of special districts. This provides special districts with one united voice on the things that matter to all of us and ensures our members have a seat at the table on some of the biggest issues facing local government and the communities we serve.
The 2025-26 Special Districts Advocacy Priorities Survey is divided into five primary questions that match the five fundamental policy areas that impact all types of special districts, regardless of service type. Each of the five questions lists the hottest relevant issues affecting special districts of diverse shapes and sizes. Please help us rank the importance of these issues and feel free to add any we may have missed. At the end of the survey, we will invite you to identify the single biggest advocacy priority for special districts.
Let’s make Districts Stronger Together.
