Press release from the office of Assemblyman Kelly Seyarto:

MURRIETA -- Following the completion of the redistricting process and after discussions with family and community leaders, Assembly member Kelly Seyarto has announced that he is running for the newly redrawn 32nd Senate District.

Seyarto also announced the early endorsements of Senate Republican Leader Scott Wilk and Senator Melissa Melendez.

“The new district boundaries created for my existing Assembly seat have carved out many of the communities that I have enjoyed representing and serving. Those communities, along with some exciting new communities, are all drawn together in the new 32nd Senate District," said Seyarto. "With our great Senator Melissa Melendez unable to run for the seat again due to term limits, I would be honored to step up and represent the 32nd Senate District.”

Wilk immediately endorsed Seyarto stating, “Kelly Seyarto has my full support for the State Senate. His decades of experience in public safety and local government make him the perfect choice to be the next State Senator for this region.”

Seyarto currently serves as the Assemblymember for California's 67th District. He has an extensive and exemplary record of public service, having served 35 years as a firefighter until his retirement as Battalion Chief in 2015 and serving as Mayor and Council member for the City of Murrieta for numerous terms.

The new 32nd Senate District includes both cities and unincorporated communities in portions of Riverside, San Diego, Orange, and San Bernardino Counties.
