California State Senator Scott Wilk, R-Santa Clarita, announced that he is set to co-chair the Legislative Problem Solvers Caucus. 

Wilk, representing the 21st Senate District, is set to lead the caucus alongside Senator Josh Newman, D-Fullerton with a committed goal of working together to find legislative solutions for the state. 

“Californians could care less which political party comes up with a good idea, they just want a government that works for – rather than against – them,” said Wilk. “I look forward to working with my colleagues more interested in collaboration than partisan bickering to address the very real problems facing California.”

The California Problems Solver Caucus was recently created in 2021 as a party-agnostic and bi-cameral assembly dedicated to discovering solutions and achieving results, according to the caucus.

“Senator Wilk will be a valuable addition to the caucus, bringing with him a welcomed new perspective and wealth of experience,” said Newman. “The Problem Solvers Caucus was created two years ago with the belief that the best solutions often come from putting partisan politics aside. I look forward to working closely with Senator Wilk as we continue to pave solutions to real problems facing Californians.”

The group aims to reform the legislative process to foster an environment that encourages, rather than discourages “common-sense solutions.”

Obtaining a non-partisan Attorney General and Secretary of State, consolidation and reorganization of California’s more than 200 state agencies, departments and commissions with clear lines of accountability and a streamlined legislative process for bills with bipartisan support, are some of the ideas currently being considered by the caucus. 

“Bi-partisan solutions lead to the best public policies and I am looking forward to working with these like-minded legislators,” said Wilk.

Wilk represents the 21st Senate District, which includes the Antelope, Santa Clarita and Victor valleys.
