LA28 leadership briefs Assembly select committee ahead of 2028 Games

Assembly leaders received an informational briefing from LA28 representatives in a guest introduction during the Assembly floor session on Jan. 20, 2026. Assemblymember McKenner welcomed the LA28 CEO and athletics leaders, saying the state and city are preparing to host the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games and that Los Angeles is 830 days away from the opening ceremonies.

"We are 830 days away from the opening ceremonies of the 2028 Olympics and Paralympic games in Los Angeles," the LA28 introduction noted, and McKenner identified leadership from LA28 including the stated CEO and chief athletic officer. The visit was described as part of an informational hearing to update the Legislature on preparations and to foster coordination as California readies venues and communities for the Games.

Why it matters: The presentation signals ongoing legislative attention to state-level planning and coordination for the 2028 Games. Members also used the floor to welcome student and advocacy groups engaged in reproductive-health access and campus organizing.

What happened next: The Assembly continued with its legislative calendar after the introductions; the LA28 briefing itself was informational and no floor action on the subject was taken during this session.
