Brea, California – Last week, Congressman Gil Cisneros (D-CA-39) visited ESCA member Proponent at their headquarters in Brea, CA.

The visit centered on the central role local distributors serve in the community and learning about the role of employee ownership at the company. President and CEO Andrew Todhunter spoke with the Congressman on key issues directly impacting the company and asked for the Congressman’s support in becoming a cosponsor of H.R. 2258.
