LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Lake County’s state senator is set to take on the leadership of the Senate early next year.

This week, the Senate ProTem’s Office released a memo in which it was announced that the ceremony to formally elect Senate ProTem Designee Mike McGuire as the Senate Leader will take place on Feb. 5, 2024.

The memo from McGuire and Senate President pro Tempore Toni Atkins said the ceremony will take place on the Senate floor, during a Senate floor session.

Additional details will be released in the coming weeks, the memo said.

“We’re looking forward to this momentous occasion!” Atkins and McGuire said in the joint memo.

In addition to McGuire’s ascent to Senate leadership, Lake County’s Assembly representative, Cecilia Aguiar-Curry, was appointed Assembly majority leader in November, as Lake County News has reported.
