The California State Senate is the upper house
of the California State Legislature , the lower house being the California State Assembly . The State Senate convenes, along with the State Assembly, at the California State Capitol in Sacramento.[1]
Due to a combination of the state's large population and relatively small legislature, the State Senate has the largest population per state senator ratio of any state legislative house. In the United States House of Representatives , California is apportioned 53 U.S. Representatives, each representing approximately 704,566 people,[1] while in the California State Senate, each of the 40 State Senators represents approximately 931,349 people.[2] This means that California State Senators each represent more people than California's members of the House of Representatives.[1]
Orange County has five partial or whole Senate districts as listed below. Note that this is subject to change upon reapportionment after a census.
