By Cris Alarcon, InEDC Writer. (April 2, 2025) — ​In a significant shift within California’s legal and political landscape, Assemblymember Bill Essayli has been appointed as the United States Attorney for the Central District of California, based in Los Angeles. This appointment places him at the helm of federal law enforcement in the nation’s most populous federal court jurisdiction, encompassing nearly 20 million residents across Southern California. ​

Essayli, 39, brings a wealth of experience to the role, having previously served as an assistant U.S. attorney in the same office earlier in his career. His recent tenure in the California State Assembly, representing the 63rd District—which includes areas such as Corona, Eastvale, and Riverside—has been marked by a commitment to public safety and legal reform. ​
