Today, Senate Minority Leader Brian W. Jones (R-San Diego) issued the following statement congratulating Senator-elect Tony Strickland on his victory in the special election primary for Senate District 36:
“Congratulations to Senator-elect Tony Strickland on his victory in Senate District 36,” said Leader Jones. “As Californians reject our state’s current failed Democrat leadership, they are shifting right. Senate Republicans are thrilled to welcome Tony to our caucus as our numbers continue to grow—rising from eight to ten members in just one year. We are excited to have him join us in the fight to Fix California.”
Former Republican State Assemblyman, State Senator, and current Huntington Beach City Councilman Tony Strickland won over the necessary 51% in the primary for the special election, eliminating the need for an April run-off.
“Voters have spoken. It is an honor to be the next State Senator from the 36th district,” said Senator-elect Strickland. “We are going to bring surf city common sense to Sacramento. We will go back to the basics of the government. Public Safety first, letting the Californian people keep more of their hard earned money and root out wasteful spending. I’m looking forward to making Californian Golden Again!”
Senator-elect Tony Strickland is expected to be sworn in next Monday, March 10, 2025
