Senator Scott Wilk was born and raised in the 21st Senate District. The district includes the Antelope, Santa Clarita and Victor valleys.  He was elected to serve as the Senate Republican Leader in January, 2021.  Prior to his election to the Senate in 2016, and reelection in 2020, he served two terms in the California State Assembly. 

Coming from a working class family in the Antelope Valley, with a father in aerospace, Senator Wilk’s family lived through the boom and bust times of that industry. Knowing financial insecurity places strain on the family, he has focused on policies to promote economic growth.  He was the principal co-author of the Film & TV Tax Credit that has restored families by bringing back jobs to California. He also co-authored the Aerospace Tax Credit that brought the new long-range bomber federal contract to the 21st Senate District. 

Senator Scott Wilk also understands that a helping hand can be the difference between struggling and success.  He has focused his legislative priorities on giving a voice to those that need our help including the disability community, the homeless, foster youth and animal rights.
