California State Senator Jerry McNerney, D-Pleasanton, has been named chair of the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee.
Democratic former Reps. Laura Richardson (who left the House in 2013) and Jerry McNerney (who didn’t seek reelection in 2022) were both elected to the California state Senate this year.
The new state senator representing the Tri-Valley is going to Sacramento with a list of tasks he’d like to accomplish in his first four-year term.
While in Congress, McNerney was deeply involved in AI policy — he authored a number of bills around the issue and served as co-chair of the Artificial Intelligence Caucus.
