SACRAMENTO — District 1 Assemblywoman Heather Hadwick has been appointed to serve as Deputy Republican Leader. Assembly Republican Leader Heath Flora made the appointment on March 31. The move adds Hadwick to the Assembly Republican Leadership Team.
The Deputy Republican Leader helps guide the Republican Caucus. Leaders work to coordinate responses to Democratic proposals and push Republican priorities.
“Assemblywoman Hadwick works tirelessly for her district and for the state of California,” said Leader Flora. “She brings that same energy and passion every day to the Republican Caucus, and I am pleased to add her to my Leadership Team as our caucus continues to push back on rising costs and failed policies coming out of Sacramento.”
“I’m honored to step into this leadership role and grateful for Leader Flora’s trust,” said Assemblywoman Hadwick. “Assembly District 1 represents some of the most rural and resource-rich communities in California, and I will continue to fight to ensure our voices are heard in the Capitol. I look forward to working with my colleagues to advance policies that lower costs, strengthen public safety, and support working families across our state.”
The Assembly Republican Leadership Team includes Leader Heath Flora, Caucus Chair Juan Alanis, Floor Leader Kate Sanchez, Chief Whip Alexandra Macedo, and Deputy Republican Leader Hadwick.
Hadwick represents California’s First Assembly District. The district covers eleven rural counties in Northern California, including Lassen, Nevada, Plumas, and Sierra counties. She has served as a leading voice on issues that impact rural communities, including wildfire resilience, public safety, natural resource and predator management, and access to education and healthcare.
Hadwick currently serves as Vice Chair of the Assembly’s Agriculture and Emergency Management Committees. She also holds membership on the Budget, Business and Professions, and Insurance Committees. Additional roles include service on the Budget Subcommittee No. 3 on Education Finance and multiple select committees.
