Brian Goldsmith has filed papers with the state’s Fair Political Practices Commission indicating his intent to run for California State Senate in the June 2026 Primary. Goldsmith, a lifelong Democrat, is running for the District 24 seat currently held by Sen. Ben Allen. Allen cannot run again due to term limits.
The 24th State Senatorial District stretches westward from West Hollywood to Agoura Hills and Malibu, and then down the coast to Rancho Palos Verdes. It includes Beverly Hills, where Goldsmith, his wife and two children have resided for the past nine years. Goldsmith, 42, was raised in Brentwood, but his family’s deep ties to Beverly Hills extend back for generations.
