Assemblywoman
Fiona
Ma
Speaker Pro Tempore of the CA Assembly
In November, 2006 Fiona Ma was elected to represent the people of
California’s 12th Assembly District. The district includes San
Francisco, Daly City, Colma and Broadmoor. In 2008 she was elected to a
second term.
As a former elected member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors,
Assemblywoman Ma hit the ground running in Sacramento. The Speaker
appointed Assemblywoman Ma as the Majority Whip, where she was
responsible for ensuring the passage of crucial legislation to improve
public education, expand healthcare access and protect our environment.
In 2010, Speaker of the Assembly John A. Pérez appointed Assemblywoman
Fiona Ma to the leadership position of Speaker pro Tempore. As presiding
officer and member of the leadership team, Assemblywoman Ma guides
Assembly Members through the daily business of the house, responds to
parliamentary inquiries, issue rulings on points of order when
necessary, and is responsible for guiding legislative priorities. She
also serves on key committees including Agriculture, Business and
Professions, Governmental Organization, Public Employees, Retirement and
Social Security, and Utilities and Commerce.
Assemblywoman Ma serves as the Chair of the Assembly Select Committee on
Domestic Violence where she has worked on legislation to protect victims
of domestic violence. She has authored groundbreaking legislation to
protect young children from dangerous chemicals, help California’s
working families pay the bills, prevent the spread of Hepatitis B,
increase access to quality healthcare, and provide equal rights for all
Californians. She has also been a strong advocate for better
neighborhoods, authoring laws to combat graffiti, recycling theft and
disabled placard abuse.
As a joint author of Proposition 1-A, which was approved by voters in
November, 2008, and the convener of the High Speed Rail Caucus,
Assemblywoman Ma is also the legislature’s leading advocate to bring
high speed trains to California.
During her first year in office, landmark legislation was chaptered into
law By Governor Schwarzenegger. Assembly Bill 1108 was a first in the
nation law that banned the use of toxic chemicals, known as phthalates,
in baby products. Her bill was later used as a model in Federal
legislation that went into effect in February, 2009.
Assemblywoman Ma is also focused on improving California’s bottom
line. She has authored legislation to keep jobs in California and grow
the state’s economy and as an Executive Board Member of the National
Conference of State Legislators, she works to keep California
competitive with other states.
Assemblywoman Ma received her B.S. from the Rochester Institute of
Technology (NY), her M.S. in Taxation from Golden Gate University (SF),
and an MBA from Pepperdine University. She is a Certified Public
Accountant licensed in California.
