SACRAMENTO — Assemblymember Robert Rivas says he has enough votes to become the next speaker of the state Assembly.
It’s not clear when Rivas would take over. In a news release, Rivas said he met with Rendon on Friday morning “to begin discussions on a transition.”“Anthony Rendon has been an effective and unifying speaker, and I am grateful to him for his steady leadership, and I am confident a smooth transition of power is a shared value of ours,” Rivas said in a statement.
Rivas was first elected to the Legislature in 2018. In a news release, Rivas said he would be the “first California State Assembly speaker in the modern era to represent a rural district.” Rivas said he was raised by his mother and his grandparents, who moved to California from Mexico. His biography on his official website says Rivas struggled to overcome a severe stutter as a child “that rendered him almost speechless.”
