Senator Kelly Seyarto (R-Murrieta) has been appointed to serve on eight Senate committees and one Joint Legislative Committee for the 2026 legislative session. Senate President pro Tempore Monique Limón made the appointments, with Seyarto named Vice-Chair of five committees.
The committees include Appropriations (Vice-Chair), Budget and Fiscal Review (Subcommittee #5 on Corrections, Public Safety, Judiciary, Labor, and Transportation), Emergency Management (Vice-Chair), Housing (Vice-Chair), Local Government, Natural Resources (Vice-Chair), Public Safety (Vice-Chair), Transportation, and the Joint Legislative Committee on Emergency Management.
“I am honored to continue serving on these key committees which address a wide range of critical issues directly impacting the communities of our 32nd Senate District,” said Senator Seyarto. “I look forward to working with my colleagues to develop meaningful solutions that reflect the trust and priorities of the people we serve.”
This session features a newly established committee on Emergency Management. Senator Seyarto will serve as Vice-Chair of this committee.
“Establishing a dedicated committee on emergency management reflects the seriousness with which we must approach preparedness, response, and recovery in the face of increasingly complex challenges,” said Senator Seyarto. “This committee represents an important step toward coordination, preparedness, and accountability, and will ensure California is better equipped to protect lives and critical infrastructure. I am proud to serve as Vice-Chair and to help advance practical solutions that keep our communities safe.”
Senator Seyarto has represented his district in the State Senate since 2022. Before joining the Senate, he served two years in the State Assembly. He previously held positions as Mayor and Councilmember for Murrieta and had a 35-year career in fire service across Southern California, retiring as Battalion Chief from the Los Angeles County Fire Department in 2015.
