California State Assembly

The California State Assembly is the lower house of the California State Legislature, the upper house being the California State Senate. The Assembly convenes, along with the State Senate, at the California State Capitol in Sacramento. Neither house has been expanded since the ratification of the 1879 Constitution, and each of the 80 members represent at least 465,000 people, more than any other state lower house, and second largest of any lower house in the United States after the federal House of Representatives. Members of the California State Assembly are generally referred to using the titles Assemblyman, Assemblywoman, or Assemblymember. In the current legislative session, Democrats have a three-fourths supermajority of 60 seats, while Republicans control a minority of 19 seats.
