On March 2, voters in California’s 30th Senate District elected Sydney Kamlager to represent them in the upper house of the state legislature.  

With that win, Kamlager, 48, becomes one of two African Americans in the State Senate -- the other is Sen. Steven Bradford (D-Los Angeles) -- and the only Black women in that legislative body, replacing former Sen. Holly Mitchell. Mitchell resigned from the Senate last November after she won a seat on the L.A. County Board of Supervisors.
