  • On December 2, 2024, Senator-elect Reyes took the oath of office before San Bernardino Superior Court Judge R. Glenn Yabuno rather that in the Senate Chambers. She had been excused from attending that day's session due to a family emergency. On December 23rd, Reyes released a statement that "In 2024 I had been experiencing health issues and after further tests I was diagnosed with cancer, thus began my journey with a surgery at City of Hope... My body is responding well... We're moving in the right direction."
