Senate confirms several gubernatorial appointments, including OES and Water Commission posts

California State Senate · August 6, 2026

Summary

The Senate voted to confirm multiple gubernatorial appointments, including reappointments and leadership roles at the California Water Commission, Office of Emergency Services, California Transportation Commission, Central Valley Flood Protection Board and CSU Board of Trustees; most motions passed unanimously.

The Senate confirmed a slate of gubernatorial appointments during the floor session, approving nominees for several state leadership posts.

Senator Grove presented multiple confirmations, including the reappointment of Daniel ("Danny") Curtin to the California Water Commission and Carolyn Thomas Jacobs as director of the Governor's Office of Emergency Services. "He was approved by the rules committee on a 5 0 vote," Grove said when presenting Curtin; later the secretary recorded the roll call and the appointments were confirmed unanimously or by overwhelming margins.

Other confirmed appointments included Jay Bradshaw to the California Transportation Commission, Kaylee Boilsler to the Central Valley Flood Protection Board, Monique Moyer to the San Francisco Bay Area Water Emergency Transportation Authority board, and Andrea Evans to the California State University Board of Trustees. The Secretary announced recorded tallies for each item; for several nominations the record shows "Ayes 36, No 0" or similar unanimous results.

Taken together, the confirmations install officials to offices that will oversee water policy, emergency response, transportation planning and higher-education governance across the state.
