Assemblymember Alex Lee Assumes Chair of the Progressive Caucus

Assemblymember Alex Lee has assumed the Chair of the California Legislative Progressive Caucus after being elected into the role by its members.

“It is my honor to chair the Progressive Caucus,” Assemblymember Lee said. “Progressivism is rooted in the people’s voices, and we work to create a more equal society for all. Ever since I was elected to office, I have been fighting for every Californian’s fundamental needs, whether that be access to affordable homes, universal healthcare, or environmental protections. I am grateful for the opportunity to lead this important caucus, and I look forward to our work as the Legislature reconvenes next year.” 

Assemblymember Lee succeeds Assemblymember Ash Kalra as Chair of the Progressive Caucus. The Progressive Caucus is guided by the vision to support inclusive and resilient communities for all Californians. It brings together legislators with the goal of advancing policies that embody the progressive values of promoting greater opportunity, security, and justice for everyone.
