SACRAMENTO, CA - The California Restaurant Association is kicking off an education campaign with Assemblymember Dr. Jasmeet Bains (D - Delano) and her favorite district restaurant, Tony's Pizza, to showcase everything restaurants bring to the communities they serve beyond great food and experiences.
"We are proud to represent restaurants of all sizes when we advocate on their behalf in the legislature, but the bulk of our members are small mom-and-pops that take the hardest hits when costly policies are passed," said Jot Condie, CRA President + CEO.
"Tony's is always giving back and has been a safe space for kids in a rural community. As a kid growing up in Delano, Tony's Pizza was the place where I celebrated my birthdays, and I always looked forward to great food and family fun," said Dr. Bains.
"It is important that we ensure that California is a place where restaurants like Tony's Pizza can flourish and prosper."
Each participating restaurant has received a free annual CRA membership that includes many tools and resources to help them continue to thrive and make a difference in the communities they serve.
