Member of the State Assembly, District 22

This person holds your district's seat in the California State Assembly (2-year term).

Only one candidate filed for this seat. Assemblymember Juan Alanis was the sole name on the June 2 primary ballot. He took 100% of the vote and is unopposed in November. This contest is settled, so your vote here does not change the outcome. The district covers Stanislaus County and part of Merced County.

The winner holds one of 80 Assembly seats for a two-year term, inside a 12-year lifetime cap on service in Sacramento. An Assemblymember authors bills, sits on the policy committees that decide which bills advance, and argues for the district's share of the annual state budget. A member of the minority caucus depends more heavily on cross-party support to move anything, since the majority's leadership controls committee assignments and the floor calendar.

With no opponent, the useful question is not who to choose but what to expect and what to watch. An unopposed return means the accountability for this seat over the next two years will come from constituents and the press rather than from the ballot. The record below is what he did with the last term.

Juan Alanis

Juan Alanis is a Republican and the sitting Assemblymember for this district, now serving his third term representing Stanislaus and Merced counties. He has authored bills on consumer protection, public safety and agriculture.

After winning without an opponent, he said, "I am deeply humbled and grateful to the voters of my district." He authored a bill requiring that a store's scale or price display be visible to both the shopper and the cashier, and the governor signed it into law this year.

He says he will keep campaigning through Election Day even without an opponent, calling voters' trust "not something I take lightly." His recent bills point to continued focus on consumer protection, public safety and agriculture.

Figures are CA Form 460 filings through June 30, 2026 by committees controlled by each candidate, and can include transfers from a candidate's earlier committees. Semi-annual reports covering January–June 2026 were due July 31, 2026, so some totals lag a period behind. Per the California Secretary of State's Cal-Access raw data export, retrieved 2026-09-21.

Total is itemized (Schedule A) contributions and self-funding loans dated after the June 2, 2026 primary, through June 30, 2026 — small-dollar unitemized (under $100) contributions aren't independently dated in Cal-Access's raw export, so they aren't reflected here and this may undercount true small-donor activity since the primary. This also doesn't include money reported only on 24-hour late-contribution reports (Form 497) that haven't yet appeared in a periodic Form 460 filing. Per the California Secretary of State's Cal-Access raw data export, retrieved 2026-08-30.
