Chico City council members will be sworn in during the city council meeting Wednesday at 6 p.m.

Although the votes are not officially certified, Senator Megan Dahle and Assemblyman James Gallagher were sworn in during a special legislative session on Monday.

“Representing our rural communities in Sacramento is an honor, and I’m committed to standing up for the issues that matter most for the North State and California,” said Senator Dahle in a post on social media following the session. She encourages citizens to contact her office for support from Sacramento.

Assemblyman Gallagher published a press release on Tuesday to announce his re-election as Assembly Republican Leader. This year he and other members of the caucus plan on continuing to advocate for safety and financial sustainability, said Gallagher.

The California Senate Democrats welcomed nine new senators, five of which are women.

This is the first time in California history that 50% of the State Senators are women, as well as the first time that women are the majority of the Senate Republican Caucus.
