New Speaker Anthony Rendon will Build More Effective Assembly, Says Ting

For immediate release:

(Sacramento, CA) – Assemblymember Phil Ting (D–San Francisco) issued the following statement after Anthony Rendon (D-Paramount) was sworn in as the 70th Speaker of the California State Assembly.

“Rendon will be a thoughtful leader, working to ensure that all people have a voice and are heard.  Aided by longer term limits, he will preside over the rebirth of the Assembly as a stronger champion for all Californians. Lawmakers are energized to be part of this change and finally tackle enduring challenges, like poverty, that persist. This inspired sense of possibility is contagious.  It taps into why all of us ran for public office. We want to improve the state we love, and we will be better positioned to do so with Rendon’s leadership.”
