Despite her background on the school


board, Limón’s political career has not been as involved in educational issues as one might expect. During her tenure she’s authored relevant legislation like SB 1061, which prevents medical debt from being reported to credit bureaus, and SB 1162, the Pay Transparency for Pay Equity Act that mandates employers include salary ranges in all job postings. Elected to the Assembly in 2016 and


the Senate in 2020, it’s a point of pride to Limón that after eight years in the legislature more than 90% of her bills have had bipartisan support. Some of her other work focuses on issues involv- ing the environment, health, consumer protection, gender equity, and natural disasters. In a caucus vote in July 2025, Sen-

The Pro Tem is one of the most influential positions in the state capitol behind the Governor, responsible for the Senate Rules Committee, assigning Senators to committees, and referring legislation to committees for hearings. Current Pro Tem Mike McGuire terms out at the end of 2026 and intends to serve until the end of his term. However Limón is expected


to begin serving as Pro Tem early 2026. We look forward to Limón’s leadership and hope to advance infrastructure and construction public policy successfully alongside her.
