Alex Padilla was elected Tuesday to his first full term as U.S. senator for California, solidifying his position as one of the country's top elected Latinos and a leading Democratic voice in Congress for more expansive immigration laws.
In a show of how comfortable he felt as a strong favorite, Padilla — who was appointed senator by California Gov. Gavin Newsom when Kamala Harris became vice president —worked hard in the run-up to the election for fellow Democrats in tight races instead of focusing on his Republican opponent, constitutional lawyer Mark Meuser. Padilla even traveled to Arizona in the campaign's final weeks for embattled Senate incumbent Mark Kelly.
Padilla served two terms in the state Senate and was then twice elected secretary of state. He resigned during his second term to become California's first Latino U.S. senator. "The work is still unfinished from an immigration reform standpoint — long, long overdue for the nation," Padilla said in a September interview."No state has more at stake in it than California."
