SACRAMENTO - On March 3, 2025, CAGOP Chairwoman Jessica Millan Patterson issued the following statement on Senator-elect Tony Strickland’s victory in the Senate District 36 Special Election:  

“Congratulations to Senator-elect Tony Strickland on a well-earned victory in Senate District 36. Senator-elect Strickland has a proven track record of fighting for taxpayers, pushing for public safety, and delivering results for Californians. Thanks to SD-36 voters, he will bring much needed commonsense to Sacramento as he joins the Republican Senate Caucus in taking the fight to the failed Democrat supermajority.”
