E NEWS. YEAH, OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING FOR FOLKS THERE TO CONSIDER. ANAHITA THANK YOU. WELL, CALIFORNIA A CALIFORNIA STATE SENATOR, I SHOULD SAY, IS NOW SWITCHING PARTY AFFILIATION. AND THIS WILL AFFECT SOME VOTERS IN OUR AREA. IT'S A RARE MOVE THAT HAS THE DEMOCRATS LOSING A SEAT IN THE STATE SENATE. SO FOR MORE ON THIS, LET'S GO TO KCRA 3'S CAPITOL CORRESPONDENT ASHLEY ZAVALA. SHE BROKE THIS STORY AND JOINS US LIVE NOW FROM THE NEWSROOM. OKAY. ASHLEY GULSTAN, WE'VE BEEN HEARING RUMBLINGS ABOUT THIS FOR A FEW WEEKS NOW, BUT MULTIPLE SOURCES FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE TOLD US THAT SHE HAS INFORMED LEADERS IN THE STATE SENATE THAT SHE WILL REGISTER AS A REPUBLICAN. NOW, STATE SENATOR, ALVARADO GIL REPRESENTS SENATE DISTRICT FOUR, WHICH ENCOMPASSES PARTS OF THE CENTRAL VALLEY AND NORTHEASTERN PARTS OF CALIFORNIA. THE LATEST VOTER REGISTRATION NUMBERS SHOW THE DISTRICT LEANS TO THE RIGHT NOW, WITH 39% OF VOTERS REGISTERED AS REPUBLICANS AND 34% AS DEMOCRATS. ALVARADO GIL FLIPPED THIS DISTRICT'S PARTY REPRESENTATION IN 2022, AFTER IT HAD BEEN HELD BY A REPUBLICAN FOR NEARLY A DECADE NOW, WE'VE BEEN CONSTANTLY REACHING OUT TO HER OFFICE FOR THE LAST SEVERAL WEEKS ABOUT THIS, BUT IT HAS NOT YET OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED OR DENIED THIS, BUT HAS TOLD US THAT MORE INFORMATION IS COMING SOON. DEMOCRATS WILL STILL HOLD ON TO THEIR SUPERMAJORITY IN THE CALIFORNIA SENATE, HAVING 31 SEATS NOW OUT OF 40, SHE IS UP FOR REELECTION IN 2026, SO IT DOESN'T REALLY CHANGE THINGS. ON THE CHESS BOARD WHEN IT GOES REPUBLICANS VERSUS DEMOCRATS. BUT I CAN IMAGINE THE DEMOCRATS ARE REACTING TO THIS, THOUGH, RIGHT? THE DEMOCRATIC LEADER OF THE STATE SENATE, MIKE MCGUIRE, ACTUALLY JUST SENT US A STATEMENT SAYING IN PART, THIS IS DISAPPOINTING FOR VOTERS WHO ELECTED HER AS A DEMOCRAT. SOURCES WHO WANTED TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS WITH US SAID THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS MEETING TO TALK ABOUT ALL OF THIS THIS LATE AFTERNOON. OTHER DEMOCRATS I'VE SPOKEN TO OUT OF THAT MEETING TELL ME THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY LIVID. BUT SOME OF MY SOURCES SAY THEY ARE NOT SURPRISED AT ALL. SHE'S BUCKED PARTY LEADERSHIP THIS YEAR ON SOME ISSUES, INCLUDING ON PUBLIC SAFETY. WE ARE ACTUALLY SCHEDULED TO SIT
