 ation (BOE) in February 2017. The Chairwoman represents the Fourth BOE Dis
 trict and was elected in November 2014. Prior to joining the Board\, Harke
 y served three terms in the California State Assembly representing the 73r
 d District encompassing south Orange County.\n\nAs Chairwoman of the State
  Board of Equalization\, Harkey capitalizes on her private and public sect
 or experience to promote the rights and interests of all taxpayers. Harkey
  advocates for policies that support job creation in the private sector\, 
 improve California's state budget outlook\, and reduce the burden of compl
 ying with government audits and various tax regulations.\n\nHarkey also se
 rves as Chair of the Business Taxes Committee\, the regulatory body at the
  BOE charged with writing regulations implementing California's business t
 ax regulations.\n\nIn her first year at the Board\, Harkey successfully pu
 shed for changes to provide clarity on 1031 exchanges in real estate trans
 actions. Her office solved over 400 constituent cases in 2015 and has held
  many successful events educating taxpayers on Proposition 13\, California
 's manufacturing exemption and many areas of state tax law.\n\nHarkey beli
 eves that California must establish new policies that ensure future improv
 ements in transportation\, water\, and other necessities\, so our state ca
 n retain its place as one of the top-ranking economies in the world. Harke
 y works directly with other Board Members\, the Governor's Administration\
 , and the State Legislature to make California golden once again.\n\nHarke
 y won her election to the Board of Equalization with over 61% of the vote 
 and is proud to represent 9.5 million constituents in the counties of Oran
 ge\, Riverside\, San Diego\, Imperial\, and the southernmost portion of Sa
 n Bernardino County.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_colu
