California's 27th State Senate District Race

Henry Stern represented the Democratic Party in the 2016 race for California's 27th State Senate district against Republican Steve Fazio.[4] On November 9, 2016, he was elected for California's 27th District State Senate.[5]

Henry's father, Daniel Stern, performed the narrative voiceover of Adult Kevin Arnold for the hit television series The Wonder Years for six seasons. At the end of the show's series finale, Henry delivered the next-to-last line of the entire series when he called to his father--in voiceover--"Hey Dad, Wanna Play Catch?" to which his father returns "I'll be right there."
