On the Election of Ed Ra as Assembly Republican Leader

I want to extend my sincere congratulations to Assemblyman Ed Ra on his election as Assembly Republican Leader. Ed is a thoughtful, steady, and deeply respected leader who brings both experience and integrity to the conference.

As both a colleague and a friend, I know the thoughtfulness and responsibility Ed brings to this work every day. I look forward to partnering with Leader Ra as we navigate the budget and legislative session ahead, with a shared focus on getting results for our constituents.
