Just a minute ago, the newest members of the State Senate were sworn in. Congrats to Sharon Runner and Ted Lieu of the 17th and 28th districts. This fills out all the State Senate seats due to the vacancies of Senator George Runner moving on to BOE and the untimely loss of Senator Jenny Oropeza.
This maintains the previous 25-15 Dem-Republican ratio, and now brings to only 2 the number of Republicans needed for a 2/3 vote assuming 25 Dem votes.
