Ines Rosales (she/her)

Ines Rosales, Outreach Associate, cultivates relationships with key influencers across California and supports, executes, and enhances outreach strategies to expand and deepen the Budget Center's influence on public policies affecting Californians who have long been blocked from sharing in our state’s prosperity. Ines also supports the Budget Power Project, an initiative aimed at increasing the budget advocacy capacity of community-based organizations across California.

Before joining the Budget Center in 2024, Ines worked for advocacy organizations, including Public Advocates and the Alliance for Children’s Rights,  supporting the development of legislative and budget advocacy campaigns focused on addressing systemic issues in the education and child welfare systems. Ines holds a master’s degree in public administration from the McGeorge School of Law, and a bachelor’s degree in government and journalism from California State University, Sacramento. 

Ines is passionate about ensuring that our most vulnerable communities have access and opportunity to actively engage in shaping government budgeting and policymaking processes. Outside of the office, Ines enjoys visiting new places, taking pictures, reading, and making memories with her husband and their dog, Chia.
