SACRAMENTO — Assembly Republicans have chosen Assemblyman James E. Rogan of Glendale as the new majority leader.
Rogan will be the No. 2 Republican in the Assembly, after Speaker Curt Pringle (R-Garden Grove).
Pringle was the majority leader before he was elected speaker on Jan. 4.
Rogan was elected to the Assembly in a special election in May 1994 and was reelected in November 1994.
He served on the Glendale Municipal Court bench from 1990 until his election. He previously was a prosecutor in the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office.
Rogan is running this year for the congressional seat being vacated by Rep. Carlos J. Moorhead (R-Glendale).
