SACRAMENTO, Calif. /California Newswire/ — Today, Calif. Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D-Paramount) announced the members of Assembly committees. Among the changes this year, the number of women committee chairs has doubled under Speaker Rendon, and women hold membership on every committee.
“With 80 members who have different interests and backgrounds and who represent diverse districts, putting together the Assembly Committee membership is an interesting challenge,” Rendon said. “After careful consideration, and receiving input from members, I believe we have strong committees that will do an outstanding job across the board for the people of California.”
The list of committee assignments appears below.
Among the changes this year, the number of women committee chairs has doubled under Speaker Rendon, and women hold membership on every committee.
“Today’s announcement of Assembly committee rosters is a very positive step forward by Speaker Rendon in empowering more women Assemblymembers through leadership positions and key committee assignments,” said Assemblymember Cristina Garcia (D-Bell Gardens). “I look forward to continuing to work with our Speaker in order to ensure the Assembly keeps making the progress we need in order to achieve full parity in the Legislature and across California.”
Assemblymember Garcia is Chair of the Natural Resources Committee and serves as Chair of the Legislative Women’s Caucus.
