Welcome to the California Legislative History blog

The purpose of the One Voter Project websites is to educate the public (and those who are involved in state politics or policy-making) about the political landscape around them, and to assure them that there is a long history that has led to the occasionally turbulent world of California politics. Looking to the past gives us a reference point from which to view current events and reminds us that there is a precedent for almost everything.

Half of California’s Assemblymembers since 1990 have never termed out?

That’s right; of the 348 legislators to serve in the lower house in the past 21 years, only 151 (43%) termed out. Even if you exclude the 80 members currently serving, only 56% of Assemblymembers ever termed out.
