Liz Snow has been appointed as Senior Vice President, Political Affairs at the California Chamber of Commerce. The announcement was made on August 6, 2025.
Snow comes to CalChamber after her tenure as Chief of Staff for Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas. In that role, she was involved in legislative processes and contributed to work on the state budget and various legislative issues that affect Californians.
At CalChamber, Snow will join the executive team and collaborate with California businesses to support candidates who understand business challenges. She will oversee political activities managed by CalChamber’s candidate and independent expenditure committees: JobsPAC, ChamberPAC, and CalBusPAC.
CalChamber President and CEO Jennifer Barrera said, “No issue looms larger than California’s affordability crisis, and Liz will work closely with our business members to ensure their voices are heard come election day. Her deep experience is invaluable in our work to support lawmakers who are committed to improving and strengthening the state’s business climate.”
Snow has more than thirty years of experience in public service and advocacy roles. Before working for Speaker Rivas, she served as chief of staff to former Assemblymember Jim Wood. She also held positions such as Chief Operating Officer at the California Dental Association—where she had other leadership roles including involvement with its political action committee—and Chief Executive Officer at the California Building Industries Association.
“Elected leaders must never forget that CalChamber’s members provide the jobs that fuel California’s economy,” said Snow. “Providing businesses with a clear-eyed view of the political landscape is key to holding Sacramento officials accountable for their efforts to focus on affordability and reasonable regulations.”
