Guest commentary: By not seeking the spotlight for himself, RendonAD62 created a more democratic system of governing within the Assembly by empowering committee chairs to own their domains rather than rule top-down 📝 KevinLiao_
to lead policy committees than ever before. Rendon’s advocacy was also key to the Assembly achieving pay equity for women employees for the first time.Rendon first ran for the legislature in 2012 because of his outrage at devastating budget cuts to child care and early childhood education during the Great Recession. He wanted a seat at the table in Sacramento to be a voice for the kids and parents who relied on those programs.
In the last six years, restoring these cuts and expanding opportunities for more young people to have a better start in life has been a key priority for Rendon. And he’s been exceptionally effective in delivering: State support for child care and preschool funding has more than tripled from $2.5 billion in the 2016-17 budget to $8 billion in 2022-23.
That’s what true leadership is – not chasing TV cameras for the sake of becoming famous or chasing legislative victories for the sake of self-promotion. It’s about getting the job done and truly not caring who gets the credit. Rendon leaves a legacy those coming after him would be wise to learn from, both his style and his successes. After a prolonged transition, the Salinas Democrat was sworn in as Assembly speaker today, taking over from Anthony Rendon. They’re ideologically similar so the differences may be more in leadership style than policy.
