Joining the growing ranks of LGBTQ candidates seeking California legislative seats next year is gay Lynwood City Councilmember José Luis Solache. He officially launched his expected bid for a state Assembly seat Thursday with a slew of endorsements from Democratic officials in Southern California. Solache, 42, is running for the open Assembly District 62 seat being vacated in 2024 by termed out Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D-Lakewood). First elected to the Lynwood City Council in 2013, Solache has served several terms as mayor of the Los Angeles County city.
