Episode 33: H.R.1 Impacts Explained
Join host Ellina Yin and County Executive James R. Williams to unpack what the newly passed H.R.1 means for Santa Clara County. This bill includes the most significant cuts in our nation’s history to Medicaid and food assistance — jeopardizing health care and food for millions of Americans. Learn how this federal law could reshape daily life for residents—and what the County is doing to prepare.
Guest: James R. Williams is the County Executive for the County of Santa Clara, a position he has held since July 2023. James began his career with the County in 2010 as a Social Justice and Impact Litigation Fellow in the Office of the County Counsel. He is a first-generation American and the first person of color to lead the largest and most diverse county in Northern California.
