SACRAMENTO - Speaker of the Assembly Robert Rivas, author of Assembly Constitutional Amendment 8 in 2025 that became Proposition 50 and sparked a blue wave across the country, issues the following statement on Tuesday's Democratic victories:
"The blue wave that started in California with Prop. 50 is sweeping the nation. Democrats flipped Congress and I'm honored to lead what will be the largest Democratic State Assembly caucus in modern history. Governor-elect Xavier Becerra's win and the new blue majority is a mandate that Americans want affordability, health care and responsible government that truly delivers results. Now, let's get to work."
The Speaker is deeply grateful to the California election workers who are overseeing the state's fair and secure elections and making sure every ballot is counted.
