38th District Assemblyman-elect Dante Acosta will be sworn in for his first term, replacing state Sen.-elect Scott Wilk, who vacated his seat to run for the 21st District.
From Acosta’s website:
Born and raised in Southern California, Dante lost his father when he was just 11 years old. Shortly after his death, Dante’s mother started a family clothing boutique to support the family, instilling a strong work ethic and the spirit of volunteerism in Dante and his siblings.
Dante worked during high school and college, in auto parts shops and car dealerships, eventually rising to General Sales Manager of a San Fernando Valley Chevrolet dealership. His success led him to a career in finance with senior leadership positions at Wells Fargo, Prudential Financial, and ING.
Wilk from wilkforca.com:
Scott Wilk was born at Antelope Valley Hospital. He attended Mariposa Elementary, Piute Junior High, Antelope Valley High School, and Antelope Valley College, before graduating with a B.A. from California State University, Bakersfield.
Scott’s career spans both the private and public sector. In addition to his tenure in the California State Assembly, Scott served six years on the College the Canyons Board of Trustees. He also spent six years as Chief of Staff to California Assembly Members Tom McClintock and Paula Boland. Additionally, in 1989 Scott was appointed by Palmdale Mayor Pete Knight to be a trustee on the Palmdale Library Board.
