Kern County Gains Two Assembly Districts After Reapportionment
Assemblyman Rodney L. Turner of Delano leads a push for equitable Kern County representation as the new reapportionment creates two districts. Kern joins Tulare and Kings to form the 10th congressional district, and the 38th and 39th assembly districts cover most of the county. The plan faced opposition from San Francisco lawmakers who favored reducing Kern to a single seat.
