The California Assembly is half of our state Legislature. Along with the state Senate, it is essentially California’s equivalent of the Congress. On June 2, voters will choose representatives for the entire state Assembly, with each district home to more than 400,000 constituents.

Many Assembly members will be new due to retirements and term limits. That means we're paying attention to how many challengers oust incumbents and how many will seats flip from one party to the other.

Find your district

Not sure who represents you in the California Legislature? CalMatters has a tool for that. Just type in your address and look it up.

Follow the vote after polls close

Our limited-run newsletter Make It Make Sense unpacks the ballot count and results, then checks in regularly on officials voted into office and the measures voters pass.

You can also use CalMatters' Digital Democracy tool to find out where your legislator lands ideologically.

There are 80 Assembly districts across California, each with its own assembly member. Members serve in two-year terms, making it a much faster turnover than the State Senate.

What does a state Assembly member do?

  • Introduces as many as 35 bills in a two-year session.
  • Casts as many as 3,000 votes a year.   
  • Passes, as part of the Legislature, a state spending plan.
  • Sits through long meetings, unless you get a spot on the powerful Appropriations Committee, where you’ll decide behind closed doors and then pass or kill all the bills at once.

Why do these races matter?

State lawmakers draft and pass laws that govern the entire state.

These laws can provide benefits that aren’t granted by the federal government, such as paid family leave or in-state tuition for undocumented college students.

They can impose rules that apply statewide, such as restrictions on buying guns, or not allowing restaurants to provide single-use plastic straws unless a customer requests it.

They can also set minimum standards for the state and allow cities and counties to go further. For instance, the state minimum wage is $16.90 an hour, while the city of L.A.'s hourly minimum wage rises generally to $18.42 on July 1.

Where are the party lines drawn?

Around three-quarters of lawmakers in both California’s Assembly and state Senate are Democrats. There are still divisions among lawmakers that lead to drawn-out arguments and prevent legislation from moving forward. We included information below on voter registration breakdowns in each district.

You might recognize their work from

In recent years, the Legislature has:

Background

As with the state Senate, the Democrats' supermajority is at stake in this election. That battle is expected to be tougher in the Assembly where Democrats have a wider lead.

The current Assembly makeup is 60 Democrats and 20 Republicans. To crack the supermajority, the California GOP would need to pick up at least seven seats.

Rank-and-file assembly members are paid $134,694 a year, plus $236 a day for expenses when the Legislature is in session. They also get reimbursed for mileage at the federal rate. Party leaders get higher pay.

Since these races are considered "voter-nominated" offices, they won't be decided in the primary. The top two vote-getters, regardless of party, will move on to the general election in November.
