Day At The Capitol 2025
CFCA Day At The Capitol lets industry leaders get in front of members of the Legislature. During this year’s Day At The Capitol, members came together in Sacramento, CA attending close to 100 legislative meetings.

2024 highlights
CFCA's 2024 Day At The Capitol was a resounding success thanks to your valuable participation and engagement with over 70 attendees!
On the day of Day At The Capitol, we told our stories in 84 legislative meetings (a record number of meetings!) educating legislators on various topics including theft, gas prices, and the Private Attorney General Act (PAGA), which undoubtedly spread awareness of the pressing issues in our industry and showed the faces of the very people who keep the fuel industry moving forward in California.
The CFCA Reception was a wonderful evening where we were joined by Assemblymember James Gallagher and Assemblymember Vince Fong whose presence revved us up for an impactful day of advocacy.
