The Assembly will vote Monday to determine its new leader. Assemblywoman Toni Atkins (D-San Diego), who has already locked up the unanimous approval of Assembly Democrats, is poised to assume the title of Speaker-elect.

Atkins, a former San Diego City Council member, was first elected to the Legislature in 2010. She currently serves as Majority Floor Leader. It will likely be several weeks before Atkins takes over for Pérez, who is termed out this year and is running for state controller.
