Ahead of CFCA Day at the Capitol, when professionals from across the fuels and convenience industry gather in Sacramento, CA to engage in meaningful discussions with the California Legislature, we’re pleased to welcome Assemblymember Heath Flora, who will serve as our keynote speaker for DATC this 2026.

In this conversation, Heath breaks down fuel regulations, the push for cleaner energy, and the politics behind legislation like AB 2046, which aims to expand consumer fuel choices. He also highlights how misconceptions about energy policy impact costs and why an all-of-the-above approach is key to tackling California’s affordability challenges.
