Assemblyman Juan Alanis Named Co-Chair of Problem Solvers Caucus
SACRAMENTO - The California Problem Solvers Caucus today announced that Assemblyman Juan Alanis (R-Modesto) has been named as Co-Chair of the caucus, joining Assemblymember David Alvarez (D-San Diego), Senator Suzette Martinez Valladares (R-Santa Clarita) and Assemblymember Anamarie Ávila Farías (D-Martinez) on the caucus's leadership team. Alanis replaced Assembly Republican Leader Heath Flora (R-Ripon) as Co-Chair.
"The California Problem Solvers Caucus has helped deliver some major wins for Californians since its formation, and I am honored to have the opportunity to step up and help lead this organization into the future," said Assemblymember Alanis. "The leadership team we've assembled cares about the issues real Californians are facing, and our caucus is committed to shaping public policy in a way that actually reflects the needs of our residents."
“The Problem Solvers Caucus exists to turn common-sense ideas into real results, and Assemblymember Alanis understands that collaboration is how you actually get things done,” said Assemblymember Alvarez. “Whether it’s lowering gas prices, promoting public safety reforms, strengthening oversight of major state programs or protecting communities from floods, our caucus has proven that bipartisan leadership can deliver meaningful progress for Californians.”
Since its establishment, the California Problem Solvers Caucus has built a record of bipartisan wins focused on affordability, accountability and practical governance. These include leading the effort to advance E15 fuel in California - a policy projected to lower gas prices by up to 20 cents per gallon - pushing reforms to the state’s Cap-and-Invest program to increase legislative oversight and transparency, and securing critical funding for flood protection projects in the Central Valley.
The California Problems Solvers Caucus was established in 2020, and seeks to find solutions reached through collaboration, not division; mutual respect, not partisan bickering; and to work in service to the people of California. The caucus is made up of both Assemblymembers and Senators, Democrat and Republican.
