In a significant shift for California politics, the State Senate Republican Caucus has reached a historic milestone with women now comprising a majority of its membership. For the first time in a general election since 1980, Senate Republicans ousted an incumbent Democrat. Additionally, for the first time in history, the California Senate Republican Caucus has a women-majority makeup.
“As Californians grow increasingly frustrated with the failures of Democrat leadership, they are shifting toward Republican solutions,” said Leader Jones. “Senate Republicans are not only growing in numbers but also diversity. Heading into 2025, we’re proud to expand our caucus to 10 members, up from 8 members just one year ago. With this strengthened team, we’ll continue fighting to deliver real results and fix California.”
Newly-elected Senator Megan Dahle (R-Bieber) also won her election in a landslide victory to represent California’s 1st Senate District. A former member of the State Assembly, Dahle is a small business owner, mother of three, and an education advocate.
