Estrada brings more than a decade of legislative experience to the table, leading multi-state and local advocacy engagement for NBCUniversal. Previously, she served as District Chief of Staff for U.S. Representative Linda Sanchez (D-CA).

Estrada will lead AHLA's efforts in Alaska, California, Hawai'i, Nevada, and Washington state. Among her immediate priorities is the extreme Hotel Worker Minimum Wage Ordinance adopted last summer by the Los Angeles City Council, which is pushing hotels to the brink of closure and will lead to significant job losses and cuts to tax revenue.

In addition to her professional experience, Estrada serves on several boards in Los Angeles, including the L.A. County Economic Development Corporation, the L.A. County Business Federation, BizFed, and FilmLA's government affairs committee.
