“I am honored to have this opportunity and I am truly humbled by the faith Speaker Rendon has placed in me to take a leadership role in the Legislature,” Assemblymember Gloria said in a statement. “When I was sworn-in as a State Assemblymember, I pledged to champion housing affordability and to improve our state’s crumbling transportation infrastructure. This new role gives me more opportunities to advance these priorities and others that will ultimately move California forward.”
As Assistant Majority Whip, Gloria will help lead the majority caucus and work to advance the agendas of the Democratic caucus.
Gloria represents the 78th Assembly District of California. Prior to joining the state assembly, he served as a San Diego City Councilmember for eight years. During his tenure at San Diego City Council, he also served as San Diego Council President and Interim Mayor for the City of San Diego.
