Rod WrightCalifornia State Sen. Rod Wright, a Democrat representing Inglewood, was convicted in January of eight counts of voter fraud and perjury for lying about whether he lived in his district. Though he has taken a leave from his position, he is still technically a state senator. Republicans have attempted to remedy the situation with a resolution to expel Wright from the Senate, only to have Democratic Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg shift the resolution to committee to block it.
