KatieJakes Enhanced Schema.org (Primary)

Corrected and enhanced Schema.org representation with proper entity classification.
Schema Type: Organization
Reasoning: I chose @type Organization because this entity is a governmental organization (SGVCOG) that coordinates regional policy and legislative advocacy for member agencies. While the specific page focuses on the legislative platform, the underlying entity is clearly an organizational structure that facilitates intergovernmental cooperation and policy development, not a business or venue.
