Speaker Robert Rivas Issues Statement on Trump, Republicans' Blatant Power Grab

SACRAMENTO—Today, Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Salinas) issued the following statement:

“Last night, our caucus met to discuss the urgent threat of a continued, blatant Trump power grab — a coordinated effort to undermine our democracy and silence Californians. The Assembly won’t stand by while our state is targeted. We will fight fire with fire. Our voters must be empowered to push back. California has never backed down — and we won’t start now. We will always protect our power and defend our democracy.”
