Senate Minority Leader Brian W. Jones (R-San Diego) issued the following statement on Senator Monique Limón (D-Santa Barbara) being elected today as the next Senate President Pro Tempore:
“Congratulations to Senator Monique Limón on her election as the next Senate President Pro Tempore. I’ve productively worked with Monique for several years. I look forward to continuing that collaboration in a bipartisan manner as we work together to lead the Senate effectively.”
“I also want to thank Pro Tem McGuire for his service to the State of California. Even before we both entered leadership, Mike and I shared a long and positive history of working together to better California. I’ve always appreciated his willingness to listen and his respect for differing viewpoints. I thank him for his partnership and leadership over the years.”
“As the loyal opposition, California Senate Republicans will continue to voice our concerns about any proposals that threaten to drag our state backward and we remain committed to working with the new Pro Tem on real solutions to help fix California.”
