Sacramento, CA – California State Senator Mike McGuire took the oath of office again on Monday, kicking off his second term as the North Coast’s Senator as family members, friends and supporters looked on.

“Words alone cannot express our deep appreciation and gratitude. Working for and with the hard working folks of the North Coast has been the honor of my lifetime,” McGuire said. “We’re excited to get back to work protecting our coast from new offshore oil drilling, investing record amounts in our kids and public schools, making sure every Californian has access to health care, creating good jobs and building housing that is affordable to working families and seniors.”

Senator McGuire was first elected to the State Senate to serve the North Coast, from Marin County to the Oregon border, in 2014. He was re-elected to a second four-year term in November by a margin of more than two to one. California legislators were sworn into office on Monday during a ceremony at the State Capitol.
