Aguiar-Curry** — State Assemblymember · Democratic · Incumbent Only one candidate filed for this seat. Assemblymember Cecilia M. Aguiar-Curry was the sole name on the June 2 primary ballot, took 100% of the vote, and appears unopposed in November — so this contest is settled and your vote here does not change the outcome. The district covers Napa, Lake and Yolo counties and part of the northern Sacramento Valley. 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. Seniority compounds: a member several terms in chairs committees and shapes which bills reach a floor vote at all. With no opponent, the useful question is not who to choose but what to expect and what to watch. An unopposed return means 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 she did with the last term. ## Cecilia M. Aguiar-Curry Cecilia M. Aguiar-Curry, a Democrat, represents Assembly District 4, covering Napa, Lake and Yolo counties and part of Colusa and Sonoma (assembly.ca.gov). She grew up cutting apricots and working in walnut orchards, and now co-owns an 80-acre walnut orchard with her brother (Capitol Weekly). Before the Legislature she was the first woman elected mayor of Winters, and at 70 she is now the oldest woman on the Assembly floor (Capitol Weekly). She serves as Assembly majority leader and chairs the Legislative Women's Caucus, leadership posts her colleagues chose her for (Capitol Weekly). On working with newly elected Republican women in the caucus, she said, "We're all looking forward to accomplishing some really meaningful policy goals together" (Capitol Weekly). On the national political mood, she said state Democrats' principles "shouldn't change" just because there's a new president: "We have a bump in the road, and we have to figure out how to maneuver" (Capitol Weekly). She promises to keep working on affordable, quality child care for children under three, reproductive and maternal health care, and equal pay and workplace protections for women (Capitol Weekly). She also lists air quality and stronger rural representation in Sacramento policymaking among her priorities (Capitol Weekly). **Strengths:** Assembly majority leader and chair of the Legislative Women's Caucus, leadership posts that put her at the table when bills are chosen to move. **Trade-offs:** Running unopposed means this term's accountability will come from constituents and reporters, not a November choice. **Keep in mind:** She is unopposed, so your vote here won't change the outcome. The record above is what her next two years in leadership will build on. ## Record in office Cecilia M.

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.
