For immediate release:
(Sacramento, CA) – Assemblymember Phil Ting (D–San Francisco) issued the following statement after a vote of the California State Assembly confirming Anthony Rendon (D-Lakewood) as the next Speaker.
“Rendon has the chops we need to get things done. His leadership was instrumental in crafting breakthrough agreements on complicated issues, like water and clean energy, from which he has earned the respect of his colleagues. I look forward to working with him to improve education in California and admire his desire to chart a new course for early childhood education. Education is the greatest gift and we need to act while our children are younger to position them for greater success in life.”
