Latinos to Control California Legislature for First Time

With the appointment of California Assemblyman Anthony Rendon as Speaker of the State Assembly, Latinos will lead the Golden State’s two legislative bodies. California Assembly Democrats elected Rendon, a Democrat representing California's 63rd Assembly District, which includes Lakewood and North Long Beach, to replace current Speaker Toni Atkins, who represents San Diego. Atkins was elected to the speakership in 2014 and concludes her term in January 2016.
