Mike is a lifelong Californian.
His family farmed the Golden State’s rich soils for decades and he was raised by two incredibly strong women, his mom and grandma.
Mike and his mom struggled growing up. He’s been working full-time since he was 16, helping put himself through college.
Mike is the third highest ranking member of the Senate and the youngest Assistant Majority Leader in decades.
He’s been a champion for our kids and public schools. He went to the mat and won against President Trump on offshore oil drilling, led the charge in the legislature on wildfires, and is a leading voice in holding PG&E accountable. And no one has been more successful at securing resources to combat homelessness and build affordable housing in rural California.
Mike and his wife Erika, an elementary school principal, call Sonoma County home with their lazy pug, Gertrude.

SACRAMENTO— Senator Mike McGuire issued the following statement in response to the passage of the 2026-27 state budget today:
SACRAMENTO—Senator Mike McGuire helped advance a critical state constitutional amendment this week that will now appear on the November ballot. The Save for California’s Future Act ballot measure will ask voters permission to save significantly more money in the state’s rainy day fund than what is currently legally allowed.
If passed by California voters, the measure would double the current rainy day fund cap from 10% to 20%. This will mean tens of billions more can be saved for potential tough fiscal times ahead.
