Sen. Niello replaces Sen. Scott Wilk (R-Santa Clarita), who served on the Commission from 2023 until he was termed out of office in 2024.
Sen. Wilk automatically left the commission when his legislative service ended.
“It is both a privilege and a profound responsibility to be appointed to the Little Hoover Commission and contribute to its mission of improving state government. I am looking forward to collaborating with my fellow Commissioners to make a meaningful impact in shaping a government that addresses Californians’ needs,” said Niello.
Niello has been senator for California’s Sixth Senate District, representing portions of Placer and Sacramento counties, since 2022.
In 1974, he joined his family business, the Niello Auto Group, and spent the next 25 years running retail automobile dealerships with his family partners.
Niello was elected to the Sacramento County Board of Supervisors, in a special election in 1999 and in 2004 was elected to the California State Assembly and re-elected twice.
After his time in the Assembly concluded, he accepted an appointment as president and CEO of the Sacramento Metro Chamber of Commerce.
Niello has served as president of the Golden State Voter Participation, chair of the Sacramento Valley Lincoln Club Board, co-chair of the California Civic Learning Partnership in Sacramento County, member of the University of California Center Sacramento Advisory Board, the Dignity Health Sacramento Service Area Hospital Community Board, the Greater Sacramento Economic Council Board, and Sacramento Rotary.
In February 2011, he was named the University of California Center Sacramento Governance Fellow, the first to serve in that position.
Sen. Niello earned his undergraduate degree from the University of California at Berkeley and his Master’s Degree from the University of California at Los Angeles.
The Little Hoover Commission is America’s only permanent, independent citizens commission working to improve state government. A nonpartisan oversight agency created in 1962, the Commission includes 13 Commissioners appointed by the Governor and legislative leaders. The commission’s mission is to investigate state operations and promote efficiency, economy, and improved service.
