Democrat Serving in the State Assembly
Rebecca Bauer-Kahan was elected to the State Assembly in 2018 to represent the 16th Assembly District. She immediately made her mark on the legislature when she was selected by her colleagues to serve in the Assembly leadership as Assistant Speaker pro Tempore and Chair of the Select Committee on Women's Reproductive Health – the first committee of its kind in the nation.
Rebecca understands the value of tax dollars and is working to ensure state funding is used efficiently and effectively. As we work towards recovery from the budget crisis caused by COVID-19, Rebecca has made tough decisions to protect essential programs, while ensuring our state budget remains balanced.
​
Rebecca has passed legislation, recently signed by the Governor, that will save the state millions of dollars through smarter, streamlined fiscal practices (AB 2483). And another bill that saved taxpayer money by streamlining the development process for certain transportation projects (AB 1475).
