Episode 13: Yvonne Lopez

PERTH AMBOY – You’d expect any freshman legislator to quietly sit in the back of the room, listen intently and perhaps co-sponsor a bill or two. But Assemblywoman Yvonne Lopez – who joined the Assembly last year to serve the 19th Legislative District, appears to be anywhere and everywhere. She serves on four committees, one in which she is vice chair. And she is already prime sponsor on a bill that is now law, requiring three-point lap and shoulder safety belts on school buses. The assemblywoman, squarely focused on social issues, stopped by for a chat, in the latest episode of the Jaffe Podcast.
