They are elected by their fellow senators and serve as the Senate's leader in the absence of the Lieutenant Governor. Senator McGuire was first elected to the Senate in 2014 to represent the Second Senate District, which includes Del Norte, Trinity, Humboldt, Lake, Mendocino, Sonoma, and Marin counties. Before running for the California Senate, he served on his local school board, city council, and board of supervisors. He has consistently advocated for our children and public schools.
