"The next governor" was a Democrat, and both houses of the Legislature were (and continue to be) Democrat-controlled from that election on, often with supermajorities.

As for the Brulte bill, not one Democrat voted against it in either house (77-0 in the Assembly, 39-0 in the Senate). It was shepherded through by Senator Peace and Assemblymember Martinez. Peace continued to claim parentage until after the resulting disaster.
