Sacramento – Senator Scott Wilk’s (R-Santa Clarita) COVID-19 test results confirm he was not infected with the virus last week in Sacramento, he announced Sunday.

“This is one test I was glad to fail,” said Wilk, who represents California’s 21st Senate District.

“It confirms what I had suspected — that I did not contract the coronavirus from one of my colleagues last week,” he said. “My wife is immune-compromised and my elderly mother-in-law lives with us so we take the safety protocols seriously in the Wilk house. However, I am very relieved to have confirmation that I am COVID-free.”

The 21st Senate District includes the Antelope, Santa Clarita and Victor Valleys.
