SACRAMENTO — Assemblywoman Akilah Weber, D-La Mesa, will serve as the next chair of the California Legislative Black Caucus and Assemblyman Isaac Bryan, D-Culver City, will serve as vice chair.
The two were selected by caucus member Aig. 13 to replace Assemblywoman Lori Wilson, D-Suisun City, and state Sen. Steven Bradford, D-Inglewood.
“The CLBC has a long-standing tradition of excellence in its ability to represent and advocate for the needs of Black Californians, a responsibility that I deeply care about,” Weber said. “As I begin my tenure as chair, I am committed to ensuring that the CLBC upholds its exceptional legislative advocacy, strong partnerships and exemplary programs as we focus on the major issues impacting our communities.”
“I want to thank our immediate past leadership team for their unwavering commitment to lead during these past two years,” Wilson said. “Together, we have been a powerful force, championing legislative policies and budget items with the purpose of enriching the lives of Black Californians. I look forward to working with our new leadership as we continue to work to uplift over two million Black residents living in California.”
Assemblywoman Mia Bonta, D-Alameda, has been elected treasurer and Assemblyman Corey Jackson, D-Moreno Valley, will serve as secretary.
The newly elected officers will assume their two-year terms in December.
