Brian Romero, the current chief of staff for state Sen. Kristen Gonzalez, has announced that he will run in Assembly District 34 next year as he bids to succeed the incumbent Assembly Member Jessica Gonzalez-Rojas, who is running for the state Senate in 2026.
Romero, a Democratic Socialist who previously served as González-Rojas’s chief of staff before joining Gonzalez in the state Senate, touted his close ties to the district and his experience working in the state legislature over the past five years as reasons for running for the vacant seat next year.
