سرانجام، جامعه ایرانیان آمریکا در کالیفرنیا در ساکرامنتو نماینده دارد

PALM DESERT, CA,- Republican Greg Wallis has conceded the race for California’s 47th Assembly District, congratulating Democrat Leila Namvar on her victory and pledging to ensure a smooth transition for constituents.

In a statement released following the election, Wallis said he had personally called Namvar to congratulate her, acknowledging the voters’ decision and wishing his successor success.

In her victory statement released on November 5, 2026, Mrs. Namvar credited her campaign’s success to several key factors:

• Grassroots Volunteers. She praised campaign volunteers for knocking on thousands of doors across the Coachella Valley and Inland Empire to share her message with voters.
• Organized Labor & Party Support. She specifically thanked organized labor unions, IADC and the California Democratic Party for backing her campaign.
• Voter Trust on Kitchen-Table Issues. Namvar expressed gratitude for the trust placed in her by local families, following a year-long outreach effort centered on workers’ rights, affordable housing, access to health care, and addressing the rising cost of living.

Republican losses could leave the party with as few as 11 seats in the Assembly and seven in the state Senate.
